And that is why I think the QEMU image should be made more readily 
available to people using QEMU who don't want to download a few hundred MB 
to try out linux under it, such as users of XP.

Would it also be helpful, for such users, to post a version of BL3-qemu 
that has some of the add-ons already added, such as icewm and links2ssl 
and abiword?  It would maybe triple the size, but still only about 15MB.
