-PPC problems
-------------
-
-[This section should be filed as bugs, but no one seems to care for
-PPC hosts and the hardware is rapidly becoming obsolete]
-
-  ppc (32 bit) works with qemu from git, however there is no serial console
-
-  ppc64 requires extra parameters:
-    -M mac99 -cpu ppc64
-  however it still fails:
-    invalid/unsupported opcode: 01 - 01 - 1a (06301e83) 00000000018c2738 1
-    invalid bits: 00400000 for opcode: 0b - 19 - 15 (2d746572) 0000000000009230
-
-  no serial console in ppc or ppc64 because no one can tell us what
-  console=ttyXX option to use

+For multi-level disk images such as live CDs:
+http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/unpack-the-russian-doll-of-a-f11-live-cd/
+
+It's possible with libguestfs to recursively look for anything that
+might be a filesystem, mount-{,loop} it and look in those, revealing
+anything in a disk image.
+
+However this won't work easily for VM disk images in the disk image.
+One would have to download those to the host and launch another
+libguestfs instance.
