I have seen cirrina some time ago. I was interested in GUI. Main page shows:

Run Clients

GUI
Start weasel
   Create switch
   Create VM
   Add Disk
   Add NIC
   Upload ISO
   Select VM, click edit, add disk, iso and nic to VM
   Start VM


But what is weasel / how can I start it? I see only cirrinad and cirrinactl.

Kind regards
