 ## Package Sources
 
+LXD is installed from `6/stable`. Workshop is installed from `stable` with
+classic confinement, as required by the
+[Workshop installation guide](https://ubuntu.com/workshop/docs/tutorial/part-1-get-started/).
+Package deployment does not initialize LXD storage or networking, or grant LXD
+group membership. Existing Snap installations keep their current track; check
+`snap list lxd workshop` before using Workshop with an existing LXD installation.
