if you dont have a network card in your appliance there's a few things you can check.
first, try typing 'ifup eth1', see if that gives you a link. if so, go to /etc/udev/rules.d and edit 70-persistent-net.rules, remove the line with 'eth0' and change the eth1 on the next line to eth0.
if this doesn't work, check the .vmx file and check the ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet" line. it should also work with 'vlance' but in the appliance itself you need to do the above thing. to see which one it finds, type 'dmesg' and check for network card messages. or type 'lsmod' and check for 'pcnet32' or 'vmxnet' lines.
if this all fails, try removing the network card from the config and re-adding it. you can try either 'flexible' or 'vmxnet'.
second question is a bit harder to explain. removing packages is one thing, knowing which ones is another. but if you feel comfortable, try typing 'dpkg -l' and start removing with 'apt-get purge' (if you use 'remove' you'll not completely cleanup the configfiles etc). when you're done, type 'apt-get autoclean' to clear the caches and that's about it. just the diskfile is 3 times bigger than the actually used space because of all the adding and removing. therefor i created a second disk, copied all files onto that one and made it into the first one (bit of grubbing, bit of tweaking).
3rd question is easier
if you dont like 'vi', i left 'nano' in there. it's a more intuitive editor with a lot less options but enough for basic configfile editing. hope this helps.
Hello!
I downloaded ub710jeos-1.021.zip and tried to run it in VMware Server 1.04 on Gentoo Linux. It does the "usual" SCSI scan thing (see attached screenshot). Example
http:// 54.642988 sd 2:0:1:3: rejecting I/O to offline device
http:// 54.643116 sd 2:0:1:3: rejecting I/O to offline device

http:// 54.643734 sd 2:0:1:3: sde Asking for cache data failed
http:// 54.643881 sd 2:0:1:3: sde Assuming drive cache: write through
This continues forever, as it seems.
According to Mista_Eng it should work, shouldn't it?
What to do?
Thanks,
Alexander

if you removed the package installer you can't fix it. apt-get is just a wrapper around dpkg and dpkg needs perl to do anything. so if dpkg is gone, you can't install anything anymore (the normal way). you could download them, unpack them on another machine and copy them over (with tar or cpio) but that's an awful lot of trouble. it's probably easier and faster to just start over and learn from the experience. (don't worry, happens to the best of us. it even happend to me once )
