I seem not to be the only one with that problem

Kaj, are you aware of gobolinux.org ?

I ran it for a few years to try it

They took their ideas from AtheOS six years ago, our predecessor

I have an article in mind to put them straight :-)

I think they have an article about the coming or not coming from 
AtheOS :)

It wasn't very usable at the time, though. It has fundamental and 
practical problems

anyway, they may have solved some of the problems you have too, that's 
why i was pointing it out.

They have an article about how much they are Unix. I don't remember 
much about AtheOS

I've thoroughly evaluated them. I have been solving problems they 
created for themselves

Graham, does RebelBB need only REBOL and Dovecot?

.

Dotting your i's?

Kaj, there never was any documentation except the source code which 
is linked at the bottom.  and all you need is Rebol and an imap server.

the missing link you refer to is the rebol documentaion project .. 
and yes, that has disappeared.

Oh, OK

But is Dovecot all it needs?

Or can it use any IMAP server?

Any imap server

I just thought dovecot was the easiest to setup.

So would you be interested in replacing your Fedora VM?

absolutely

How big is it?

let me check

gee .. I've got about 3Gbs of various virtual disks

Server's footprint is 370 MB. I'm also going to produce a trimmed 
version, but that will take a while longer

How big an image do you need?

anything smaller than what I have is good, and a virtual disk that 
can grow

to accomodate the messages

I have to create it at a certain size. The one I have now is 10 GB, 
I believe. Is that enough?

yes!

does it have vmware tools installed?

No. Do you need it?

yes, otherwise the time etc won't keep

well, may not keep

That's running in the guest OS, isn't it? That's not available for 
Server yet

vmware tools run on the vm

I'm not sure it's really necessary. Can't VMware keep the time? It 
has complete control over the guest

to make sure the mouse, and clock work and the video too I think 
.. though that's not so necessary in a non-gui environment

that's the problem I had initially with the first vm I used ... no 
vmware tools installed and so the clock was never right.

There's no mouse :-)

true :)

At least, not in the normal environment. DirectFB and SDL are included, 
but it's basically a console system

I suppose you have the VMware tools? Can you install them on a console 
VM?

yes .. it's all console installation ( compile .. but of course it's 
a perl script! )

Ugh. No Perl on a standard Syllable Server, so you'd have to install 
that, too

Does it compile stuff?

I presume so

I can see how it works without vmware tools ...

If so, you'd have to install the developer packs, too, and the size 
of the thing increases
