Trial Appliance Improvements

[RobMcDougall]

I'm working with the LiveCycle Trial Appliance VM and there's a couple of things that would make working with it easier:

1) Include the Less utility on the machine - Viewing logs is a common activity in LiveCycle.  Using more sucks.  Less is better because you can page up and page down as well as follow the log.

2) Include vmware-config-tools.pl - Being stuck at the default resolution sucks when you're running the VM under workstation on your PC.  Being able to run the vmware-config-tools.pl utility to change the resolution would be a nice addition.

Any one else have any other suggestions?

We have a dedicated forum for the applinace:

RE: 1) We'll work on adding it to the next version planned.

RE 2) It seems there's a bug in the Novell SUSE Studio implementation.  We'll chase it down.  In the meanwhile, you could give the appliance an IP address that you can hit from your laptop so that you don't have to go through the VMware Workstation GUI to interact with the VM.
