and the rest of the "start the dev-base and save under a new name"
points.
Save early, save often. Use the 'save as new version' to keep a
family lineage of the image states you've been through. Try to use
meaningful names for your images to give you a clue in six months
time what the hell they are for. Alternatively, name your working
directory - I have VMM3-8b for example with the image left as
Sq38b-6695-tpr.image or whatever. As long as there is some meaningful
context to help you later.
I keep a workspace in the image open just for comments about what I
was doing in the image and what packages I loaded or saved out. When
I'm good I remember to save that to a file occasionally so I can look
at it to see what the foo I was doing before the latest emergency bug
distracted me.
