[Attempto] aceWiki server

Dear Nagarjuna,

The appliance is a minimal version of an AceWiki *server*. It 
deliberately contains no GUI packages (no graphical shell or browser).

You should access it from the outside, i.e. from another (virtual or 
physical) computer. The CD image is probably not the best way to use it. 
I would suggest to use VMware or VirtualBox to run it as a virtual 
machine and then to access it from a browser of the host computer. You 
might need to set some parameters to make this work. Here I described 
what is necessary when using VirtualBox:

On the page where you can download the AceWiki server appliance, you can 
see the passwords. For root it's "linux".

If you want to add more packages to the applicance (though I would 
suggest you follow the path described above), you could clone the 
appliance within Suse Gallery and then select more packages to be installed.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you encounter further problems.


Cheers,
Tobias
