There are a few things missing from the VM image that would make it a whole lot easier to use. For example, emacs and java (needed to run the /admin/jsdeploy/run.sh script). Also, trying to get VMWare Tools installed was a bit of a pain because there were some dependencies missing, like linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 and gcc 4.1.2 (the version used to build the kernel). Finally, it would be nice if the /etc/apt/sources.list file were set to include the standard debian locations so that apt-get were more useful. Something like:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work #deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
lynx question
Could someone please explain howto mark files in lynx? That's not that easy for most of us (windows-)users.
keyboard question
For those of us with a non-US-keyboard, you should explain how to enter the ~ sign (in front of your import-file)
vi (Editor) question
For all the windows-users out there: If you have to change some lines (like changing the replication mode), you can use the built-in editor vi.
Without any knowledge of vi, you can't really use it, but this are the most important things:
To enter Vi type:
vi FILENAME
Vi has two modes: Normal (command) mode and edit mode.
Switch to normal mode: <ESC> Switch to edit mode: i or a
Getting out of Vi (change to normal mode <ESC>):
Exit Vi: :q Exit Vi (ignore changes): :q! Save: :w Save and Exit: :wq
