Currently installing debian into a VM and its going pretty fast. The VM on my workstation is faster than my laptop anyway! Eveything seems to install ok on a new kernel and it looks like no worries to install what ever guest kernel.

If it can be made to work on one system then it can be tested on others ,non vm other arches etc to check all is OK. There is nothing *timing critical* in the driver. If this helps me fix bugs quicker then it will be considered a success. I have also once took out my entire filesystem when my driver went very very bad! So this will be a thing of the pas, or a least not serious :-) Regards Robin
