Hi, I'm building an appliance with vmware studio 2.6. The appliance is based on ubuntu 10.04 (I would like to build it on 12.04, but there is no template that works as far as I know).
The problem I'm having, is that I have to execute an installation and configuration script at first boot that takes some time to finish.
So if you look at the console while booting the vm for the first time, it looks as if the vm has crashed during boot process, but it's really installing and configuring.
I've looked at the developers guide and online and have not been able to find how to script a redirection to stdout for a linux-based vm on first boot.
Does anybody know how to do this?
I've tried with: echo "Installing and configuring product..." but that does nothing.
Does anybody know if there is another way? do I have to add a " >&1"?
Thanks in advanced!
