The first one is a small matter. The Crux installation image doesn't contain a floppy driver. I'm a lazy programmer. If I have to do something more than once, I try to automate with a script. Since I've redone my installation so many times, I've written some scripts to automate the process, which I'm keeping on a USB thumb drive. However, it's a bit inconvenient. VMware allows you to use a floppy image as a virtual floppy disk, just like you'd use an ISO file as a CD-ROM, except you can write to it. The good thing about this is that I can keep the floppy image in the same directory as the rest of my VM. That means that if I revisit my project in a year or so, I don't have to worry about which thumb drive I was using way back when.
