Hi there,

on Sunday, April 23, 2006 at 9:57:06 AM there was posted:

e> - ability to hot-add/hot-remove IPs from running guest
This is lost? AFAIK it is still possible, using the proper context.

e> - ability to enter running/non-running guest
Running guest entering is not lost, non-running guests always started
them, so I see the actual way beeing more clear

e> - ability to hot-mount directories into running guest
This is lost? AFAIK it is still possible, using the proper context.

e> - when entering guest this info used to be displayed:

OK, that is lost. But it is not really necessary IMHO. There are other
and also easy ways to achieve that info.

Cannot follow this problem, as I never worked / do not work with skeleton.

I had this as a personal "problem" as well when changing to the new
scheme. As for now, since I'm working a while with the new scheme, it
is more clear and more understandable for myself then the old one. But
there's one point, I agree still with you: The examples are lost, the
relevant documentation is therefore less understandable (and not
everyone realises how to switch the stylesheet on the "flower page").
So this really could (should?) be improved to fit the previousely
reached level, yes.

Agreed.

???
