w00t! video or it didn't happen, though? :)
Hah, ok I'll screen cast tomorrow :)
I have virtio-serial devices setup now too so I can properly slave the
aboriginal qemu env and tell it to do things, should make for a better
screen cast :)

Does that mean it is (or will in future) be possible in your setup
to
run ybd as a non-root user?
It absolutely does mean that.
Of course, I will have to sort out deployment but the way I envision it
is that we use the aboriginal image to perform the deployment, using
only tools we've built... so that part should also be doable without
requiring root.
