Agreed, but another common scenario is having a a DHCP server where you define static assignments based on the mac address which allows a bit more flexibility in terms of management. > * should we document how to create a VM using virt-manager GUI? >=20 > Good question, I'm pretty conflicted about that one.

I understood the same, but I also have the feeling that, since we have ubuntu-vm-builder, this is not as strong a requirement as it would have been otherwise. > * Fists use of the GUI acronym should present the expanded meaning= in > parenthesis. >=20 >=20 > In the Installation section: >=20 > "You either need a way to automate the installation, or a keyboard an= d > monitor will need to be attached to the machine.
