Hi Harry, |
| 18 |
I have an up-to-date Gentoo 64-bit/KDE Virtualbox VM but I haven't |
| 19 |
tested it on a Windows host. I suppose could try that given some time. |

I'd have no problem donating a copy if people wanted it and there |
| 22 |
was some public place that we could put it. I don't want to run a |
| 23 |
server here to do that though. It looks like it would be around 5GB if |
| 24 |
I cleaned out /usr/portage/distfiles. |
