Ok, the Virtual PC VM is fully uploaded to my server: (version .01) -- I will master at least one more image when Fremantle final sdk is released to combine the two VHD's into one VHD. I had them separate as I was trying to see if the swap partition was causing the compaction process not to work.

From then on out you should be able to just save a copy of the original VHD and just run the scripts to update to any new "features" and "sdks". Keep your

(Be nice, please don't use multiple threads to download it -- I run a small business on this server)

It is a Ubuntu (Jaunty) install w/ SSH and a Windows File share setup on it. It has the latest patches as of Sept 7th, 2009.

Valid users on the system is "maemo/maemo" and "root/root".

From your host (Windows 2000 - Windows 7) you can open a new explorer window and type "\\<ipnumber\maemo" to connect to the maemo user home directory to copy files into and out of the vm.

it has Midnight Commander installed (for those like me who find MC indispensable)

It defaults to using DHCP to get its ip number, but if you want you can set it to be a fixed ip number by clikcing the little icon on the top menu next to the time/date.

Now, what features would you liked to see embedded in this VM.
My plans are currently as time permits:

1. Add a utility that will display the current IP on the desktop.

2. Add scripts to make QT integration to the Scratchbox as seemless as possible. I would like to see the ability to compile -> run -> debug from QT and have it auto-handle the stuff in the scratchbox.

3. Possibly add another development editor (for those who aren't interested in using QT -- any recommendations)

Anything else you all want to see?
