kn10-ks only runs from the directory with its support files and emulator
image. Support files do not get modified during emulator execution. You
could put the emulator image under /var and use a symlink since it does
change as ITS runs. I tested this OK. Unfortuately, not that many
systems have enough /var space to do this I'd imagine.
