Hi,
Discovered debci recently but it took me a fair few minutes to work out
how to "just run the damn tests" from a local source tree without
setting up a virtualisation environment.
A patch is attached that updates the getting started guide. Hopefully
the warning about the results being unreliable is sufficient but feel
free to make it stronger.
Regards,
