Re: A copy of a virtual machine I test ZM in available

A little more follow up... I extracted the diskfile by tarring, And since I found a vmdk, I mounted in VMware instead of VBox(using a SCSI controller).

Since the packages built for openSUSE are currently broken (They are configured for external MySQL authentication instead of local authentication and don't provide a means to configure remote authentication), Am trying to install from source.
