   It is aimed at users who wish to create virtual instances of Debian.
  You may easily manipulate instances of Debian Sarge, Etch, or Sid.
 
-  The tools each work in a similar way and have the same assumptions.
+  There are two ways to use the scripts:
 
-  It is assumed that each virtual image will be comprised of two files
- upon the host system:
+  1.  With loopback files (simplest but slower).
+  2.  With LVM.
+
+
+Loopback Files
+--------------
+
+  If you use the default setup with loopback files then each virtaul
+ image will use two files on your host system:
 
 	1.  A disk image to be used by Xen as the primary drive.
 	2.  A disk image to be used by Xen as the swap partition.
 
-  Images are assumed to live beneath a single root directory,
- which is specified via the common '--dir=' command line argument 
- to each of the scripts. 
-
-  (Alternatively you may include 'dir=/path' inside the global
- configuration file /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf.)
+  These images will be kept beneath whichever directory you specify 
+ as your root directory (via the command line flag "--dir=.." or a 
+ configuration file entry "dir = ..")
 
   Beneath the root directory each virtual instance will have a
  subdirectory, named after the hostname of the image.

+LVM Support
+-----------
+
+  If you wish to use the LVM support then you will give the 
+ scripts an LVM device to store the images upon.
+
+  In this case you'll have two new volumes created, one for
+ the swap image and one for the disk storage.
