   Keep it up, Bobbie.  Interesting that there were 633 updates   
   after the release.  That is how it is in Cauldron.   
      
   I have Mga 6 installed on a separate partition, starting a few   
   weeks ago with a boot iso.  It should be similar to your Vbox   
   installation, except that I seem to have installed everything   
   possible; the DVD acts as a filter.  It seems quite stable.   
   There are a few new "goodies" in the repos.
