Doesn't this trigger this ugly warning?

    if [ -z "$lxc_config" ]; then
        echo
        echo "Warning:"
        echo "-------"
        echo "Usually the template option is called with a configuration"
        echo "file option too, mostly to configure the network."
        echo "eg. lxc-create -n foo -f lxc.conf -t debian"
        echo "The configuration file is often:"
        echo
        echo "lxc.network.type=macvlan"
        echo "lxc.network.link=eth0"
        echo "lxc.network.flags=up"
        echo
        echo "or alternatively:"
        echo
        echo "lxc.network.type=veth"
        echo "lxc.network.link=br0"
        echo "lxc.network.flags=up"
        echo
        echo "For more information look at lxc.conf (5)"
        echo
        echo "At this point, I assume you know what you do."
        echo "Press <enter> to continue ..."
        read dummy
    fi

Anyway, can we at least print a fat warning if no rootfs is set?
