RE: [Xen-users] GPLPV and dhcp should it work?

["Antti Kanes" <antti.kanes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As as side note to James, there are plenty of us waiting for the CD-ROM
support to be implemented in GPLPV (for xen <3.4), and really appreciate it
if you find time to look into this :D.

As I recall, starting from Xen 3.4 there is an option (or is this by
default?) not to use GPLPV for CD-ROM and thus it would work as it did
without PV; correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
