Hi Alain, Thanks. I would indeed be interested in your compiled VM.
Regarding running it on Mac, indeed I can do that, but I will have to wait until next week to get access to the image due to holidays. Another bit of information is that the image was built and saved without a problem on the same machine where now it does not work anymore.
