Testing new VMWare Image...
scorche:
The current VMware image, or the one that this thread was initially started for?

The former. I just downloaded it from the wiki, compiled the new arm compiler, and then uploaded it.
FWIW I think starting with a full ubuntu image might be a good approach. Having gnome is quite handy if you actually want to do development. Although it would probably add at least 150 MB to the zip size.
scorche:
I always started with a fresh, basic installation of Debian and then installed everything from there - I used fluxbox because it did the job of a WM just fine while something like Gnome would add significantly more to the zip size. Starting with a full Ubuntu image would (I would imagine) have quite a substantial image to need to download. The image in the OP of this thread was already bigger than I and downloaders typically like.
grums:
What's the status on this one?
I like the VMware environment better than the VirtualBox one - but the VMware image I can download using the development guide instructions seems to be maybe a little bit outdated (build fails, in another thread (Clip+) in this forum).
