Therefore "sshd" must be running on the virtualization host, and must be
accessible to that host. See SERVER REQUIREMENTS section below.
- The "virt-p2v" script must only be run from the live CD. It isn't
- designed to run outside this environment and could do Bad Things to your
- machine if you try it. The script contains some checks to try to stop
- you from doing this.

Virt-p2v does not modify the physical machine, its disks, configuration
etc.
+ USB key and PXE boot options are also available. See sections PXE

STANDARD USAGE
After booting the live CD-R, you are presented with a series of
questions. This section explains each question.
./iso-attach virt-p2v-VERSION.iso virt-p2v
-BOOTING FROM A USB KEY INSTEAD OF A CD
- If you wish to boot from a USB keydrive, use the livecd-iso-to-disk
- tool:
+ Note that ISO attachments only work with real (and emulated) CD-Rs, not
+ with other methods of booting such as USB keys and PXE.
+
+PXE BOOTING
+ If you wish to boot over the network using PXE, use the
+ "livecd-iso-to-pxeboot" script (part of "livecd-tools").
+
+ livecd-iso-to-pxeboot virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso
+
+ then copy the generated subdirectory "tftpboot/" to the right place for
+ your PXE configuration.
+
+ Pre-built PXE boot images are also available on the website.
+
+ General configuration of DHCP, TFTP and PXE for network booting are
+ outside the scope of this document.
+
+BOOTING FROM A USB KEY
+ If you wish to boot from a USB keydrive, use the "livecd-iso-to-disk"
+ script (part of "livecd-tools"):
livecd-iso-to-disk virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso /dev/sdX1
