Hi Eike,

Since we changed the build method, only the iso is created 
automatically. We now use the official way that Ubuntu uses to create 
spinoffs.
For 6.0 we provided a VM after manual installation.
So far, alphas are stable enough and can be installed in a VM with 
default settings, so creating this VM is trivial now.

I am ok providing such a VM for the next alpha, but I don't have the 
time to do it manually for every alpha/beta release.
There is a plan to automate this too, but it moves slowly.

Cheers,
Angelos
