I think the download was a bit faster than my time spent trying to navigate the website, which looks a few decades out-of-date. :) I wouldn't spend too much time trying to figure it out. I got the VM running but 'apk' is unusable since it cannot find a database file, which prevents you from installing packages. That is a bit unfortunate because my ./configure scripts from my host machine did not like toybox's 'grep' command in the VM (*). Collin (*) I do not mean to blame toybox. Based on the error message it seems like QNX's regex engine does not like adjacent duplication symbols and will return an error upon seeing them. GNU's regex chooses to handle them, even though it is not required. I'll have to look into that more to see if an Autoconf bug is needed.
