[Xastir] problems with Xastir-Hardy VM and vmware tools?

[Tom Russo]

On Sat, Mar 07, 2009 at 12:35:14PM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the <russo at bogodyn.org> flavor, containing:
> I am now cloning my Hardy Xubuntu VM and will clean it up for distribution.  I
> have updated all packages and Xastir, so it should all be good for a few more

> 
> I can pass off one copy to someone for redistribution in a couple hours after
> I've given it a bit more shakedown.

A torrent of this updated VM is now available through Tom Hayward's torrent
tracker:

Look for "Xastir-Hardy_090307.zip"

This has yesterday's build of Xastir, xubuntu Hardy with all updates up
to yesterday, and a version of vmware tools that should no longer require
one to use "vmware-config-tools.pl" just to change the screen size.  The 
guest OS should auto-fit into whatever window it's being run in as soon as
you log in to it.

vmware-config-tools.pl is necessary every time there's a kernel update in the
guest, though.  It rebuilds certain VMware kernel modules to match the new
kernel.  

HTH,
T.
