Hello

How is this appliance downloadable ?

definitely an applicance to check out

root password is fedora

found it in the readme file. It is thoughtpolice

I tried to update the packages in core 6 with the package manager, but received an error message that the disk space was insufficent. My question is, how do I increase or allocate more disk space to the Fedora core 6 image under the VMWare player. My host operating system (Windows XP) has plenty of space and I would like to add another Gig to the VMWare image. How would I go about that?

TIA,

Thanks for the suggestion, expanding the Virtual disk works just fine in my instance, I took it up to 10Gb, it still reports that it has only 3.9Gb. When I look at the appliance console, and check the settings it reports a 10Gb partition as it should. I found that the 3.9Gb partition still prevails when I tried to perform an update, and also on the disk analyzer. Help!!!

Thanks for creating this appliance. It looks great and is the first Fedora I have found that has a working vmware tools.
Problem is this operating system is quite un-usable due to the fact that the disk arrives nearly full.
I just spent the last 18 hours discovering how to expand the disk size and still can't get it to work.
First step was to use vdiskmanager to increase it to 15GB. That worked fine. Then Fedora reported unused partition.
I used 'parted' to allocate the new space to partition 4 with ext3 file system.
The next step was to download 'gparted' to resize the main partition 2 (/dev/sda2) to 14GB. Can't get 'gparted' to compile in the appliance though (error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool)

If only the appliance could be built with growable disk at least 10 to 15Gb.
Guess the main issue here is that linux just doesn't have the nice file system tools that are available under Windows.
