Thanks - seems useful in general.  Not sure I'll use it for this - a
chroot should be adequate to test this (I don't intend to actually run
KDE), and is much more efficient with CPU/RAM/etc.

One thing I did set up for doing VM installs of Gentoo is a PXE
enviornment that runs with an NFS root.  I can stick stuff like
stage3s and portage snapshots and template config files on that NFS
root easily, and update it when necessary (though really the install
image really only needs to be updated to address hardware, which isn't
a big deal with VMs).  It isn't anything too exciting, but maybe I
should write up a howto - there may already be some Gentoo PXE guides
already and any of those should basically work.
