Not if you put it next to the VM.

Also, the instructions were somewhat complicated. The only thing I  
install usually is the VM, and the sources file.  Image+changes are  
working files so they are only in my working dirs, not in a system  
dir. [except for the squeakland image for the browser plugin of course]
