Yep, I have one of these and downloaded an ISO, but I haven’t yet managed to 
set it up with qemu.

OK.  Too bad for me then.


Nadeem, thanks for your report.  We used to have one or two people working on 
distutils2 on Windows, but they got busy with other things or I scared them 
off, and now I just have to hope that my commits work, which clearly doesn’t 
work.  I’ll send a call for testers on some mailing lists.

Newlines are a particular sore point.  In many cases we don’t care about them 
and happily use splitlines to ignore platform differences; in some cases we 
really want LF on all platforms but there are no tests.

Please file reports for the bugs you’ve found, on this tracker.  Set the 
“Distutils2” component and I’ll be auto-nosy.
