Excellent idea! I can add a few extra space savings to the pot:- with a
pluginised VM (currently I have almost got all the serial, sound, network
etc stuff as plugins) you have a small VM as well as a small image. If you
use the partial image loading stuff Dan did a while ago as well, then the
'install-image' IS the normal image, just without all the IDE stuff loaded.
