That process is described in the Wiki article. Yup, the idea was to duplicate what had been done with the previous VM including compiling from CVS with everything except Festival and GDAL. I believe the date of the build was May 10th or May 11th, but as Tom indicates, it's easy to update via the process documented in the Wiki. I haven't read the updated Wiki yet, but the previous version was very well done and very detailed, and therefore probably took some work to revise. Thanks Tom! Fyi, when I "played" the new VM in VMware server (after Tom's tweak with the new VMware tools), the window didn't exactly autofit - it still came up in 800x600 mode. However, I was able to change the resolution very simply using the Ubuntu display settings instead of running the cryptic vmware-config perl script, which is still a big improvement. I haven't tried running the new VM in VMware Player, so perhaps it will auto-fit there. I understand the real intent is to use it with VMware Player. One item Tom passed on to me was the link below. It contains a nice little mod of VMware tools using open-vm-tools. He used it with the latest VMware tools in VMware Workstation, and I have found that it also works with the latest version of VMware Server. VMware tools without the mod has problems installing properly in Ubuntu 8.04 and at least a few other newer linux distributions. http://peterc.org/2008/62-how-to-install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-hardy-804-under-vmware-fusion.html Regards, Lee - K5DAT Murphy, TX _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
