1. Here are the specs of the virtual machine:

- Ubuntu 8.10
- 1 cpu, 512 Mb RAM, 8 Gb hard drive, NAT (private IP address)
- configured to install/update software from CSSE's local mirror

Extract the file and open with VMWare Player, which is available for free at
http://www.vmware.com/download/player/player_reg.html . 

The Ubuntu VM files are avaialable on DFS (Academic Affairs/CSSE/Ubuntu_VMWare).

The first time you run the VM it will ask about if it was moved or copied. Select "I copied It".

After bootup, it will login automatically. For any sudo needs, the password is "change".

If you have any questions, please send them to help@csse.rose-hulman.edu .

2. To use the OS, start VMPlayer and select Open. Find the Ubuntu files you extracted in step 1 and open the .vmk file.
