  Description     : tool for disk-less Linux emulation using qemu

Virtme is a set of simple tools to run a virtualized Linux kernel that
uses the host Linux distribution or a simple rootfs instead of a whole
disk image.

Virtme is tiny, easy to use, and makes testing kernel changes quite simple.

Some day this might be useful as a sort of sandbox. Right now it's not
really configurable enough for that.

The tool is really useful for kernel testing.
