Description Dan Yasny 2010-08-03 15:45:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
mistype in virt-install manpage - 54:52 should be 52:54

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man virt-install
2.find "54:52"
3.
  
Actual results:

    -m MAC, --mac=MAC
         Fixed MAC address for the guest; If this parameter is omitted, or the value "RANDOM" is specified a
         suitable address will be randomly generated. For Xen virtual machines it is required that the first 3
         pairs in the MAC address be the sequence ’00:16:3e’, while for QEMU or KVM virtual machines it must be
         ’54:52:00’.

Expected results:

    -m MAC, --mac=MAC
         Fixed MAC address for the guest; If this parameter is omitted, or the value "RANDOM" is specified a
         suitable address will be randomly generated. For Xen virtual machines it is required that the first 3
         pairs in the MAC address be the sequence ’00:16:3e’, while for QEMU or KVM virtual machines it must be
         ’52:54:00’.
