Hate to reply to myself, but I forgot some important information.

The image may have some problems that I am not aware of, that are not a
result of bugs - so *please* DO NOT files bugs that you find in the
virtual machine.

The compressed size is 600MB (599495447 bytes).  The uncompressed size
is 2GB.

The md5sum is 2da116676bdb4267cd87ca31e7816bed

I notice that a lot of programs crash on exit; again please do not file
bugs for problems you encounter in the virtual machine.

Thanks again,
