> ap-vbox (appending -2 or -3 on conflict), preconfigured in UTF-8 mode

> Nothing else from svn is left checked out - all was wiped after

> 
> The image is set up as a dynamically expanding hdd with max size 64
> GB, where 8 GB is allocated to swap space.

> To install you will need:
> - VirtualBox from http://virtualbox.org/
> - 7-Zip from http://7-zip.org/ or something else that can decompress
> 7z files
> 
> 
> Create a new virtual machine with OS Ubuntu and select the existing
> VDI when the choice about harddrive comes up. Give it at least 512 MB
> RAM - it might run with less, but the more the better.
