This also means that the disk does not have to be partitioned (unless you want a separate partition for swap).

Would you consider adding consoleblank=0 to the kernel boot string in the virtual appliance images?

Does it makes sense to make the default network adapter be the lower-overhead virt-io instead of the emulated ethernet hardware?

Wouldn’t it be faster to "use the host I/O cache" under storage as a virtualbox VM is likely to be running on a machine with a lot of RAM?

Should the serial ports be disabled entirely?

Should the floppy and CD-ROM boot options be un-checked to speed boot?

Obviously OSS & VirtualBox are great 🙂 and perfect for many situations, but some participants may be more comfortable with a VMWare hypervisor.

[WM: We have some VMware images for previous builds on SourceForge. Just haven’t gotten that far on this one.]
