The use of ext4 means that you will require a relatively recent kernel-power & CSSU to mount and use the image, but it does offer slight performance advantages over ext3.	+	The disk image has been enlarged to 4GB in size (well, 4GB minus one byte), which is the largest file that will fit on a FAT32 filesystem, and converted (well, copied over) to an ext4 filesystem.
