Known issues
------------
* Installation image does not fit on DVD, requires either DVD DL, or USB stick (5GB or more)
* Windows Tools: `qvm-block` does not work
* Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers you, please use the KDE environment instead.
