virt\-p2v \- P2V (physical to virtual machine) migration tool
.SH "SUMMARY"
In this mode, the live \s-1CD\s0 attempts to reuse the network configuration
from the physical machine's root filesystem. You should probably try
this method even though occasionally it does not work.
+.IP "Ask for fixed \s-1IP\s0 address and gateway" 4
+.IX Item "Ask for fixed IP address and gateway"
+In this mode the live \s-1CD\s0 will ask you for a fixed \s-1IP\s0 address and
+gateway address, and will configure your chosen interface with these.

In this mode you will be dropped into a command shell and you will

+This option configures the network for use inside a \s-1QEMU\s0 user network

addresses are not tested for uniqueness so there is a very small
chance that they could coincide, which would leave a guest unable to
access the virtual network.

+.IX Item "Compression"
+Choose whether to enable or disable compression on disk images as they
+are copied across the network.

+If enabled, the \f(CW\*(C`\-C\*(C'\fR option is passed to \fIssh\fR\|(1). On fast networks
