The problem I'm having with the VMWare image is that there isn't enough disk space in the image for me to work with Qt, Qtopia, and any applications. I've removed extraneous packages, but it's still too tight. Given that the scratchbox login runs within a chroot'ed environment, it doesn't see external storage (ie., USB keys) that are available to the VMWare image.

[As I'm typing this message, I'm realizing that I may just need to add the /dev entries within the chroot environment.] Any other suggestions for making more storage available to the scratchbox environment within the VMWare image?
