Let me emphasize: we *need* testers. I want us to quit having a
more-than-10-month-old ISO as soon as we can. This means we need the test
series ironed out quickly.

Also, we need devel testers. Right now, devel has been quiet for some
days because of test coming out, but soon, there will be devel ISOs
again with all the changes and features planned for the 0.9.6 stable
release. They need testers too.

Can I get a show of hands of experienced SMGL users who would like to test
the ISO out but feel they have no way to do so, including not having a good
way to do a chroot to test it? Getting some test environments up (even via
VM) is something I plan to work on soon, I'd like to gauge how important it
really is for the developers at large so I can prioritize.

Private replies are fine.

I'd like to have a writeup on how to use chroot/UML/Xen to test an
ISO. Almost all of my machines are in use at the moment so I can't
spare one to reinstall on, though I do have a few spare machines
floating around it would be nice to be able to test on my laptop when
I have a moment here or there during the day.
