To me, that doesn't make much sense.  I want to run core-image-sato,
just with different kernels.  The userland experience (i.e. which
programs run by just starting up) should be pretty much the same.

Why does the qemu image start a bunch of NFS and DISTCC stuff that
emenlow does not?

I'm still trying to get a grip on why the network works correctly
on emenlow and fails on qemu...

Thanks
