t's one reason I am running Bullseye: I set up qemu-kvm on Mint 20, put a guest in, and promptly ran low on space. So I wanted to export it to Debian, but found that the version of qemu was higher than the one on Buster (which wouldn't allow the Import). So I'm on Bullseye. Research the differences between the versions of qemu and you might want Bullseye also. TIA! > > dan > Happy to help. Kenneth Parker
