[PVE-User] VMID selection during create

[Shain Miley]

Here is the output.  I have not used vzdump as of yet.  This occurs on 
the create tab in the web interface.

proxmox:/usr# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.1-3 (pve-manager/1.1/3718)
qemu-server: 1.0-10
pve-kernel: 2.6.24-5
pve-kvm: 83-1
pve-firmware: 1
vncterm: 0.9-1
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve1
vzdump: 1.1-1
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1dso1

Thanks,

Shain
