Hello all,
Like Eric Sandall, i've tested the latest Devel ISO on KVM using
virt-manager GUI without problems. I'm planning to sharp the Linux
kernel config to avoid loading old CDrom kernel modules since virtual
machines only have standard virtual hardware.
I renew my idea of publishing an updated kvm virtual machine image
each time a new major component devel version is to be tested.
Having also a "stable" image could also be used as an virtual appliance base.
What would you think of that ideas ?
