Using the virtualbox interface, you should now be able to start your + virtual machine. Virtualbox will complain if it detects any + remaining configuration problems in the VM, but it should start + normally. The Linux boot sequence will show many lines of text, + before bringing up a black console window with a login dialog.
+You can log in directly on the VM console with the developer account, but + it is generally more useful to connect to the cakelampvm over ssh. + If the networking has been established properly, you should be able to do + this with:
+ssh developer@cakelampvm.com (or equivalent with your ssh client)+
And then provide the password to log in.
+A feature called "X forwarding" is enabled, so if you start graphical + applications on the VM, you can display them from an appropriately + configured host. (If you're running Linux as the host for the VM, + you can definitely run remote windows. Windows may not support + that.)
+#### check this!!!
The cakelampvm has been set up to provide a DNS server which will answer name requests for all of the sites that the VM hosts.

The DNS configuration on Windows is somewhat byzantine. The pipe + characters ('|') below are used to separate the menus or tabs or dialogs + to traverse. Follow this path to get to the DNS config:

On the host computer, look for the guest vm as a networked computer called cakelampvm. This should provide some network shares using
