HI Andy, I'll definitely take you up on that offer! We're running a gentoo 'dev' environment on top-line SUN x64 server hardware, and I already have a vmware ESX 4.1 host with XP lab-ready vm's standing by that I prepared & tested a couple weeks ago. Right now I'm having difficulty getting the

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Randy, I'd say at the point it would be a good idea to create a new database in mysql using the vcl.sql file. Then, modify secrets.php and vcld.conf to point to the new database. Also, make sure to grant the database account you've created (vclus

David, No sir, I did not. My boss has asked me to get a VCL prototype up and running and linked to our already created vmware ESX 4.1 server's datastore of 'ready-to-roll' Windows XP Desktop images that have all of UCSB's licensed lab software pre-installed on them. I've tested those images
