Tested installing http://insteps.net/pr/a/pmwiki/Apps/PmReader-help-v1-1
on alpine-virt-120531-x86.iso .
Kvm/qemu command:
kvm -cdrom alpine-virt-120531-x86.iso -net nic,model=virtio -net user -redir 
tcp:5558::80

Things look great.

packages  tested from v2.4/edge repo:
php-apache2, php-xml, avfs, unionfs-fuse

Is it possible for someone to provide a testing account at Amazon EC2/AWS. 
(Looks like even signing a development account requires a credit card)
