Speaking of distros ...

I'd like automate some of the graphics testing.  For starters boot
guest, run test utility to display something, take a screendump, check
whenever it actually shows what I expect it to show.  Maybe later run
test suites like https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/.

Ideally it would allow to not only test qemu, but to also test the
kernel drivers (i.e. allows to boot and test with some custom
development kernel).

For that I need a bit more than just a kernel.  Suggestions how to do
that best with autotest?

Fetch distro image, install/compile what I need, cache the image
somehow, then use it to run the tests?  Would the vmimage library allow
to do that?  From a brief look it seems to only support fetching the
images, not customizing them ...

Create an appliance using supermin?

Create an special initrd using dracut?

Something else?

thanks,
  Gerd
