So here is the idea: use qemu to create a virtual version of my machine (with less then 2GB or RAM) and install i386 8-CURRENT on it (I want to use -CURRENT for all my installs) Any thing I should watch out for here (I know I need to use NFS or something like it to share files between the host and guest OS's) -- Aryeh M.
