Callahan, along with your SCSI2SD config archive maybe you’d consider creating a console-only, minimalist, 4.10 Linux install with stable XFS image mounting support but the newest SSH you can find for virtual box or whichever VM system, BZIP2 compressing it, and publishing it on your archive for easy download/use by others?

While it’s not terribly hard to recreate the steps you’ve published, why not smooth it a little bit and just share a like 200-300MiB image for others to just download and use.

That way (just like your SCSI2SD config files) you can dehassle others. If you have the apt-get sources pointed correctly for the time being, people can always add the X server and window manager themselves if they need it on their own copy.

That way even if a user wants to do this, they can just download your prior work instead of fighting for 45 mins to an hour to try to put it together.
