<DIV>I downloaded the dropoff vm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since the download site did not list if the vm was 32-bit or 64-bit, I used 64-bit and it started ok. It also may become more important later to also list what version of Ubanto was used to create the vm or include the configuration file in the zip file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After logging in I tried running the "sudo su -" command, entered the password and kept getting back "dropoff is not in the sudoers file....".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm calling it a day here. Looking forward to giving dropoff a trial run.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thank you</DIV>
