You don't have to! Do a scan. Built in VMWare on Karmic 9.10 about an hour ago.

Although this may be legit, I would be wary of downloading programs built by newly registered members with no posts outside of this thread. =\

I *did* have an account but I couldn't remember my password. Enjoy the distro.

[Rob2687]

An extremely cut down OS.

It's actually 700mb but the RAR compression is high.

Uploading to 4Shared... be about 40 min.

At Neowin, we prefer "official" links. Let me know when you have them and I'll re-open this thread.

I?m glad this thread has been re opened, I downloaded this from the original links posted last night and can?t seem to get the virtual machine to connect to the internet. Any tips? Using VMware player I have tried both bridged and nat with no luck, as you can?t even log on without a working network connection it?s hard to find out what the problem actually is.

Also am I allowed to link to a mirror of this I created last night? it requires no registration unlike the links posted above.

Just curious, but if (for example) Fedora was available on torrent, but not on a RedHat hosted site, would that thread be closed and links removed?

Question I have is that these are open source projects, so there isn't a copyright issue or any other need for a specific host, so will all third-party hosts of files be closed and links removed?

[Subject Delta]

I had the same thought. Thing is, the guy that compiled this build isn't even the official distributor of the project, Google is so even his link is technically unofficial.

CentOS isn't the official distributer of RedHat Enterprise Linux. They take RedHat source code and compile it and re-distribute it (after removing trademarks like logos and such). The only difference between the two is the popularity between them.

Also an unverified source could have compiled anything into the build.

The VMDK file has to be converted for the current version of Player or WS to read it (WS 7 can do so in the same process used to create a custom VM, which is how I did it).

Because of the conversion needed (which Player can't do; however, WS 7 can), I suggest WS 7 or Fusion as opposed to Player.

Settings otherwise: guest is Linux-Ubuntu, RAM is 512 MB, graphical acceleration is on, networking is NAT (not bridged) with Windows hosts.

It's not Android - it's aimed at larger screens than Android.

However, it is aimed at *smaller* displays than even Kubuntu Netbook Remix (from the font scaling, I'd say no larger than 1024x768, if not 800x600).

Optional usages - an always-on Kindle-type or other eBook device based on a netbook (or even a small netbook with built-in wireless for hotel guests; basically a wireless version of the subsidized MiFi netbook that VZW, AT&T Mobility, and Sprint are offering).

Go to the VM options and change the network adapter type to "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop".

Make sure you right click Virtual Box and choose to run as administrator (given you are running Windows Vista or 7)

I had the same issue even though I have full admin rights and UAC disabled :/
