Yeah, it is surprising how many mail clients are unable to deal with
reinstalls and upgrades.  I used to use Outlook Express once upon a time
(mainly to connect to hotmail), and it used to corrupt its own database
every time it had to be reinstalled.

So you prefer html to info?  It is nice of your Linux distribution to create
the html version.  It is not part of the offical build.  Which Linux
distribution do you use?

Ideally, we should have the VM manual in HTML and PDF on the web.  But
Savannah hosting site is a bit too complicated for me to figure out how to
upload things.  I could use some help in uploading releases to Savannah.
Any volunteers?
