Howdy, I am presently trying to build an image for a Soekris 4521 and this seems like an interesting approach you have here. I have the VirtualBox VM Manager in use and KVM installed on a test machine, but not tested yet. Has anyone used a similar approach with either of these hypervisors? If so, do you have any advice? The idea of being able to do test builds and run in a hypervisor seems like it would be a lot more productive than the way I test now. Good day, Ralph
