I want to let you know that I haven't gotten around to doing the  
required ISO image tests for the past 3 point releases.

My problem is that it is rather family life incompatible to hang  
around on a Saturday/Sunday and run various ISO image installation  
tests. And during the week, work requires to much attention these days.

Maybe anyone else can imagine running those ISO image tests as  
described above (and in other mails of this thread)?
