Are you asking what virtual machine hosts are available on Debian?

*explicitly*

Because Debian can easily run as a virtual machine guest.

If not host
  why ask?  !!!!


Debian has several available virtual machine hosts at its disposal.
Check out the wiki:

https://wiki.debian.org/SystemVirtualization#Using_Debian_to_host_Virtual_Computers

https://wiki.debian.org/SystemVirtualization/ prompted question


That page gives a good overview,

Though "overviews" explicitly identified as irrelevant

although it mentions quite a few solutions
which are possibly not in the DVD set.

Did I *NOT* say:
...all required software be in set of install DVDs for i386 Debian 9.8.

----> If the DVDs contain all of the
`main`
repository, then these packages can be used to start with a
Libvirt/Virt-Manager/KVM setup (this is what I install on my systems):

virt-manager qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt0 libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system

The frontend `virt-manager` can then be run to graphically manage VMs.
`virsh` can be used to manage them at the commandline.

I do not understand.


Btw. when reading what "VMs are available in Debian" I first thought the
question was about prebuilt images for virtual machines? ...

My *explicit* question is:
What 32 bit VMs which DO NOT depend on non-FOSS components are available for 32-bit Debian?
