I used to use a patch from the Xen ML to enable vhd-util to do conversions, but IIRC this has been merged into master. If others (outside of the build server) want to use vhd-util what are their options? > >I've fixed the partition as regular one with different partitions for >/var, /opt, /usr, /tmp, /boot, /home, please see the partitions sizes, >advise if we want to change them: (syntax: min. size, priority, max. >size) >https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commi >t;h=ab63a433ecbf60e18ad6cbcb0353c61fa432bcdc Looks good. Glad to see swap space.

How do you want to use the config.dat, We should not need config.dat now that the debconf-set-selections trick is used.
