**In testing VMs only** it's probably a good idea to install a VNC server before installing QWT. If something goes very wrong with the Qubes gui agent, a VNC server should still allow access to the OS.
**NOTE**: Xen PV disk drivers are not installed by default. This is because they seem to cause severe problems, including disk image/files corruption in Qubes HVMs. We're investigating this. *However*, the problem doesn't always occur in tests -- disk drivers often work *if they are installed separately after the main portion of QWT is up and running*. **Do this at your own risk** of course, but we welcome reports of success/failure in any case. With disk PV drivers absent `qvm-block` will not work for the VM, but you can still use standard Qubes inter-VM file copying mechanisms.
**NOTE**: Xen PV disk drivers are not installed by default. This is because they seem to cause problems (BSOD). We're working with upstream devs to fix this. *However*, the BSOD seems to only occur after the first boot and everything works fine after that. **Enable the drivers at your own risk** of course, but we welcome reports of success/failure in any case (backup your VM first!).
