Let's be clear on one thing we *DO NOT* recommend petitecloud be used with
windows guests (currently) because the only way to run them is on qemu
which, until some kind sole fixes KQEMU, runs so slow it unusable (2 hrs to
run bsdinstall on a minimal install list)... the other option is vbox but I
simply can't figure out how to run it headless (from a boot script
specifically) this combined with the fact that unclear from Oracle's
documentation if such a mode is possible [I have figured out how to script
but there seems no easy way to run without a GUI {a very early version of
petitecloud used this as a possible front end but we decided against due to
Xorg not being universal})]... so it seems that petitecloud will just have
to wait for either of the two items to be sorted out... therefore I will
repeat an offer to give $50 anyone who can show/help us solve the above two
problems and be listed as a petitecloud contributor
