Rather than populate the main forum with new svmi features, for most minor additions etc, I'm just going to post the latest svmi features, packages, etc, here.

Please use the main bug report or feature request threads for posting bugs ore feature requests.

Added vbox non free 2.0.4, kept 2.0.2 as a manual -V install option. This isn't tested, but I assume it's fine.

svmi 2.0.0: moved it to its own svn: code.google.com/p/svmi.

Modified syntax to match inxi, sgfxi, and soon smxi.

Added inxi/sgfxi style error handling (with -! <option> style syntax>, with default/dev/branches download options as well.

This is more progress towards making all these scripts much more standalone projects.

No user changes except fixed a bug that made the wrong message display pre vmware install for people installing the new .bundle type package.

Added new vmware player 2.5.1, leaving 2.0.5 as alternate backup.

Read the release notes for full info.

svmi 2.1.0: added vmware/vbox remover. I also made a confirm remove option, so you won't remove it by accident. Note: the vbox remover will remove/uninstall ALL vbox components, kernel modules everything. Your system will be 100% vbox free after you run it. The vmware uninstaller just runs uninstall-vmware file.

Added vbox non-ose 2.1.2

Update: this fix still doesn't work with 64 bit 2.6.29 kernels, but it does work well with 32 bit.

the patch itself runs fine, but the module fails to build.

new: vmplayer will now build the module in console using a command I just learned from the above bug report thread.

However, 64 bit is still failing
