I think that's a good idea, because that was the next question I wanted to ask: what's the difference between the root variable (which in all examples not only contains the root, but alo the additional argument "ro") and extra, and why should I not just add more arguments to the root variable and leave the extra arg empty? As I understand it now, theres no big semantic difference between both, and they get actually "glued together" and handed over to the guest kernel at domain creation time. Does this answer your question satisfactorily? Yes, thanks a lot!
