  i always cache downloaded packages just in case i ever
need them for something else.  with my connection not
being super fast it does help at times.

  the other day was the first day i even looked at qemu
to see if i could use it for doing git bisect for tracking
down some issues.  i have to pass for now, but it looks
interesting.

I'm game, primarily since it's available via "main", but it will take
a while between download time and the usual whole flubbing it up a few
times before success. After reading through the first part of its
description, I figured I could test it via virtual machine. Next part
of its description mentions QEMU so there you go... :)

If it absolutely demands a physical disk to plant itself, I may even
have one of those that works. Optimal for today's World, though, will
be if it offers an option that lets you save something like an ISO
file straight to a hard drive. :)
