not quite. i want assistance in *building* the VM. once that's
done, i can just burn the VM image to CD or DVD and hand them out to
the students, no? and they can all import that VM image and get to
work. i just want to make sure the image is created properly, and
i'll have a couple simple linux loadable modules i can test it with.

again, i can just hand them hard media with the image on it. it's
the creation i'm concerned about.

the result of an unfortunate encounter with a large axe. no,
seriously, many years ago, i started to get the beginnings of carpal
tunnel syndrome and realized that the majority of stress in typing
was reaching for the shift key. i gave up doing that and it all went
away.
