New FreeBSD appliance development
I have started developing a new virtual appliance using FreeBSD 6.4. I am hoping to solve all issues faced with the previous virtual appliances and make it as easy to use as possible.
The frequently reported problem (mostly with Ubuntu on VMWare server 2.0) was missing network functionality. To get rid of this issue from start, I have created and uploaded a bare bone FreeBSD virtual appliance which contains nothing but minimal FreeBSD 6.4 install.
Please download and test it with your vmware player or server installation and confirm that network interface (lnc0) is active (using ifconfig lnc0) and you can communicate with virtual machine using the assigned ip to lnc0 (it is configured for NAT/DHCP).
