Virtual Machine Maintenance Docs
NB It is best if the VM is maintained using the original VirtualBox image & then re-exported to OVF
sudo su - apt-get update apt-get upgrade rm /var/cache/apt/archives/* exit cd Desktop/web2py bzr up cd applications/eden bzr pull
After removing any unwanted packages, purge the filesystem using:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2} ' | xargs dpkg -P rm -f /var/log/*
The next 2 steps are unnecessary if exporting to OVF?
Overwrite the freespace with zeroes:

apt-get install secure-delete sfill -fz /
Compress the VDI disk image:

C: cd "\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox" VBoxManage modifyhd c:\Users\%USERNAME%\.virtualbox\harddisks\Eden-Dev.vdi compact
