the instructions
            dont actually weigh anything so saying it's worth it's
            weight in gold is saying they aren't worth anything. ;)

            No way did I have time to install the pre-alpha Valentine,
            and that

            fact distressed me because I was one of those asking for a
            quick

            release as a confidence builder. But I just didn't have the
            time.


            Then KatolaZ exactly documented the four steps to
            installation, and I

            said "I can do that in my sleep, while doing other work!" So
            I did it,

            and it worked (although slowly because -enable-kvm wasn't in
            the

            commands). KatolaZ' four step document.


            A document that makes installation and use trivial, and
            makes it

            simple, is worth its weight in gold. Thanks KatolaZ.
