That was for the current disk image, but I've been experimenting and learning more about virtual appliances, did as you mentioned and exported a better image as an appliance file, so thanks for the info.
The new image can be found at the bottom of the download section of the website or by this direct link: http://www.mayan-edms.com/downloads/Mayan%20EDMS%20v0.13.ova. The final file came much smaller too: 700MB uncompressed appliance image vs. 1GB compressed disk image, and setting it up is a breeze, just "import appliance" and boot it up. There is also a small update and the IP address is now shown on the login prompt so no longer is login on needed to get the IP address of the appliance. --Roberto On Thursday, January 3, 2013 7:46:58 AM UTC-4, MGInstruct wrote: > > Roberto, > > Is there a new image to download.
