Hi,

I mentioned this in a QA meeting, and have given it enough testing that I think 
it's broadly usable. If desired it can be copied out of my user account and put 
up somewhere where QA folks will see it and can modify it as issues or 
improvements are discovered.

What is it? The idea is to produce a system that can confidently be used for 
baremetal testing, without risking the primary operating system. While VM's are 
a great way to test, it's also a really idealized environment that tends to not 
expose an assortment of bugs that affect particular hardware. But then quite a 
lot of folks reasonably don't want to upgrade their daily use hardware early 
on, because they don't want to always have to debug things, or have to figure 
out how to undo the upgrade if it really goes badly.

Therefore, I present a dual-boot setup offering:
* no re-partitioning;
* no installation step, instead system upgrade is used;
* reversibility, or undoability, i.e. with just a few steps you can delete the 
"test OS".
