<PRE>Hi!

Yes. I think I misunderstood your original question. I thought the
purpose of this was mostly for testing while the distribution is
fairly new since it would be easier for people to test in a virtual
machine instead of installing it directly on a computer since you
would most likely need to reinstall fairly often in the beginning. But
now I'm starting to understand that the purpose was something totally
different.

Regards,

David Sj&#246;lin
