If anyone wants to play with Islands, it's much easier now.  I've pulled
out the VM changes so that they apply to a current 3.6 image, so you can
load those changes and regenerate your VM from a standard image.  The VM
you thus get will work for both standard images and for Islands images.

Also, thanks to a generous person from Disney, a pre-loaded image has
been salvaged that you can play with.

Download everything from:

There are no VM binaries on the page yet, but hopefully people can
contribute them.

on the island"
