I made a virtualbox vm with 128 M RAM.  I could boot into the live
system from your CD.  Cool!  Is there a way to install it on the
virtual hard drive?  Or is that not ready yet?

Let me know.  I have lots of machines waiting for this distro once it
is ready, so I'll have a lot to test it on.

Thanks!
