[Jaunty] Vm Builder memory and network setup

Hello,

I use vmbuilder to manage my virtual machines. I have setup a bridge
interface br0 for them.

Concerning the memory problem I have specified (using a configuration
file) mem = 512. After the virtual machine has installed correctly I
get :

<memory>18446744073709551615</memory>
  <currentMemory>18446744073709551615</currentMemory>

Whereas the template specifies:

<memory>#echo $mem * 1024 #</memory>

Concerning network, the official server-guide says to copy and modify
in /etc/vmbuilder/libvirt/libvirtxml.tmpl

          <interface type='network'>
            <source network='default'/>
          </interface>

To:

          <interface type='bridge'>
            <source bridge='br0'/>
          </interface>


But on jaunty I have that:

#if $bridge
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='$bridge'/>
#else
    <interface type='network'>
#if $mac
      <mac address='$mac'/>
#end if
      <source network='default'/>
#end if
#if $virtio_net
      <model type='virtio'/>
#end if
    </interface>

I suppose the documentation is wrong and that I should specify the
bridge name using a parameters but man virt-manager does no say
anything about it.

Regards
