there is also the following problem: At the moment our "New VM" wizard just asks if the Linux distribution is Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora or whatever. It does not ask if this is an older distro or a newer one. Therefore we need to assume some sane values working for older as well as for newer distros. We want to rewrite that wizard to allow a better choice here but this will not happen for 5.1. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
