    I have added a menu in napp-it to select, download and preconfigure LX images from Joyent
    beside the menu to configure/ attach/ start/ stop/ detach/ delete

    http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/zones.pdf

    Whats not yet clear to me is the way to configure lx zones with
    zoneadm/zonecfg according to the settings in the Joyent XML file like
    network ip/dhcp, router, netmask, gateway, maxram, ssh, mount zfs
    filesystems to name a few.

    btw
    what about kvm branded zones from Joyent?
    the concept is very new to me....
