thanks folks for the replies. I'll look at qemu.<br>
By the way King Beowulf, clicking on the "various random shell
scripts and utilities" link (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxgalaxy.org/files/utils">http://www.linuxgalaxy.org/files/utils</a>)
takes me to a html page which just says <br>
<pre id="line1"><span title="Start tag seen without seeing a doctype first. Expected “<!DOCTYPE html>”." class="error"><<span class="start-tag">TITLE</span>></span><span>DNS lookup error</span><span></<span class="end-tag">TITLE</span>></span><span></span><span><<span class="start-tag">H3</span>></span><span>DNS lookup error</span><span></<span class="end-tag">H3</span>></span><span> DNS lookup error</span></pre>
so I am interested in your setup, but it's hiding!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi everyone, I use sbopkg for building packages, but for my own
slackbuilds I need to test them on both 32bit and 64bit slackware.
Ideally, they would be clean installs, with just the dependencies
required for the build to be tested. I would like to do this with
minimum of fuss, and wondered what you guys (and gals) did ??
Up till now, I have used 2 separate test machines, or one machine with
two slackware installations on different partitions, but I haven't
managed a clean starting state for each slackbuild. I have somewhat
limited internet data allowance, so don't want to re-download the sbo
tree for every slackbuild when building dependencies. I made limited use
of qemu on windows to run some slackware vm's a while ago, but prefer
solely using linux for testing.
any simple examples or a howto or wiki would be appreciated, and
probably useful to all slackbuild creators.
Thanks, Tim
PS. some builds are for graphical programs that use opengl, I don't know
if that affects the choice of environment or not.

I use qemu (since I am the maintainer!) to create clean Slackware
environments. I set up a file share for both onto a SBo git clone on
the host (which actually point to a NFS on a separate server..). I
create a base image, then a work-in-progress copy-on-write image.
I create a script with a zenity "GUI" to maintain the BASE and WIP
images with all command line option. If you are interested you can look
at the scripts here (item #6):
