The installation actually never finishes, but otherwise editing the config afterward would be a fine.
I couldn't install the older version (original 12.04) because of dependency challenges. I have tried again, but this time I installed openvswitch by itself. It errors out due to missing kernel headers. I added the missing headers and then openvswitch installed successfully. But as a dependency of the xcp-xapi package, it proceeds onward with the installation as if openvswitch was setup correctly. That's where it (or another dependent package?) gets stuck waiting on openvswitch to start. As long as I meet the openvswitch kernel header dependency before installing xcp-xapi, the installation succeeds. I made the "openvswitch" => "bridge" change post install. The server is working fine. It would be good if the xcp-xapi package errored out properly in the case openvswitch is not available, otherwise the xcp-xapi package is not at fault.
