Comments about proposed FreeBSD GCIN VirtualBox VM image

Comments from gavin@:

  • setting em1 to dhcp
  • smaller resolution than 1280×1024
  • US keyboard mapping - the most popular, but documenting how to change that is worth doing
  • gpk-update-icon kills X11. Not sure how that can be an image problem (Load average is around 20 all the time)
  • The image lacks pdftex etc, so you can't make the PDF versions of the documentation (needs jadetex and teTeX packages installing)
  • Maybe tcsh or bash rather than csh for the gcin user account? More user friendly
  • Having subversion-freebsd installed and a source tree checked out anonymously (“svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/”) would be nice, perhaps both for head and stable/9
