I've a question for you Nathan.
First of all, thanks for your effort, this is really very helpful.

I didnt followed the whole discussion here, but it seems that you are using "scratchbox 1" in this virtual machine.

Personally, I'm using maemo-sdk+ with sb2, and I'm very happy with it, and it supposed to correct many of sb1 problems.

So, what do you think about it ? do you think it's worth an install script inside your vm ?
