Hi Jaromil,

Thank you for clarifying. I'm sorry if I'm asking questions too early ;)
I'll give it another try when you feel like the SDK is ready.

I like this workflow a lot, especially the ability to build ISOs (and
presumably other bootable media). I look forward to using it to do
integration testing in a VM, for example.

Regards,
-Jude
