-= SimplyMEPIS (7.9.95) 8.0 RC2 Virtual Disk Image =-

This is the Virtual Disk of the upcoming release of SimplyMEPIS 8.0. After working of this image for 5 hours I gave up trying to install the GuestAdditions when I could not install the kernel sources. Hopefully the next Release Candidate or Final Release will work.
Additionally the OS runs extremely slow. If someone finds away to deal with the slowdown that would be great information.

For now this image will give you a chance to preview SimplyMEPIS in VirtualBox.

Release Notes:
"MEPIS has distributed ISO files for RC3 of SimplyMEPIS 8.0. For RC3, the kernel has been updated to upstream version 2.6.27.15. QEMU 0.9.1+svn, libvirt 0.6, virt-manager 0.6.1, and virtinst 0.400.1 are available from the MEPIS pool to better match the virtualization configuration of the MEPIS kernel. At user requests, Firefox 3.0.6, OpenOffice.org 3.0.0, and libgphoto2 2.4.3 updates were added to the SimplyMEPIS build. Community members have improved the MEPIS Network Assistant, the MEPIS manual and they have added an autorun intro to MEPIS to the CD. When will SimplyMEPIS 8.0 be released? MEPIS developer, Warren Woodford, says, 'MEPIS 8.0 is in good shape but since MEPIS is meant to have a Debian stable core, I'd prefer to wait and declare it final when Debian Lenny is released.'
