The included diff works like a charm. Takes a whole second to create a 64GB
disk image.
Thanks,
Scott Edwards.
PS, this email address is only used for bts, as my previous accounts have
received undue amounts of spam. (turns out I still receive attempts for other
email like entities in old message ids that only appear on bts). As a result,
you'll need use my hotmail account of cvgscote. Also, do not use that email in
anyway to publish the direct email address, eg don't allow something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (already a spamtrap) to show up in bts or on the web. Thanks
again.

Hi,
createdisk does not exist anymore, it was removed with plex86. The
package bximage is a suitable replacement, which handles sparse
images correctly. Thus closing this bug report.
thanks,
guillem
