True :)

Considering it's not the final release, bugs are expected, and the ones i found were quite minor.

Yoho: I didn't change anything in that file; here's what I have:


# Additional arguments for the X-servers for local sessions.
# This string is subject to word splitting.
# Default is "-nolisten tcp"
ServerArgsLocal=-deferglyphs 16

Misterbee: Of course I've heard about Gnome, but i took a look at the KDE version, also customization is nice, but i did a review of the default system. I do agree it's a matter of taste.

Adam: thanks for clarifying! It's really nice to see Mandriva employees reading and commenting on reviews like these, and communicating with mere mortals. It must take a lot of your time.

Sevennl: i did look, the Netherlands wasn't there :)

If you want to see what's new in Mandriva 2008.1 Spring, take a look at 2008.1 What's New, a Wiki page describing the changes between the 2008.0 and 2008.1 releases.

Hi Raymond, thanks for the compliment.

Right now the script only works with tap interfaces, since I didn't have a need for non-tap based VM's. Adding an option for that would be easy though, I guess. If so, I'll post a new version soonish with the option in it.

I use the VBoxManage command since that can do all actions to a VM needed, like shutting down (VBoxRDP can't do this afaik), listing running VM's etc. I don't think there's any advantage of running VBoxRDP for just starting the VM's.

Thanks esoco, you're right. It's fixed in the vboxcontrol section

Hi robp2175, you can remove the script with:
update-rc.d -f vboxcontrol remove

(see man update-rc.d)
