It looks like qemu and debian can use the sparse files, so that would be a nice shortcut for people working on this, if they start with that image.

I was referring to the steps at twobob's linked code. I should have established context. Yes, extending from 500 ro 2000, does need it (as I also mentioned).
EDIT: I see now that twobob's code wrapped in my smartphone browser (no code tags) -- I missed the append flag. My comment was moot.
