-What is vconsole
-================
-
-This is a virtual machine console, with a strong focus on guests using
-a serial console. Features a tabbed GUI, one tab for the VM list,
-then one per guest console. It build on top of libvirt.
-
-
-Using vconsole
+About vconsole
==============
-Just start it. It comes up with a GUI which should be mostly
-self-explanatory. If you have VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI set it should
-pick it up automatically. If it comes up empty try passing the
-libvirt uri using the '-c' switch.
-
-Hit 'Enter' on a host line to expland/collapse the guest list.
-Hit 'Enter' on a guest line to open a guest (text) console tab for it.
-
-Guest console tabs stay open until you explicitly close them using the
-'close tab' file menu entry. When a guest starts the console will be
-(re-)connected automatically.
-
-Typing into a guest console for a guest not running will start it
-(this is probably temporary until we have more fancy gui controls for
-that).
-
-
-Known issues / TODO list
-========================
-
-vconsole doesn't handle connection drops (caused by libvirtd restart
-for example) yet.
-
-vconsole lacks a .desktop file and manual page.
