On my desktop, I've installed a VirtualBox disc with Ubuntu9.04 Server32.<br><br>Progress, so far, modeled after <a href="http://vig.laptop.org/wiki/index.php/Recipe:easywiki">http://vig.laptop.org/wiki/index.php/Recipe:easywiki</a>:<br>

6. sudo svn checkout <a href="http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_15/phase3/extensions">http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_15/phase3/extensions</a><br>7. sudo chgrp www-data images config<br>
8. sudo chmod g+w images config<br><br>>Edit <tt>/etc/php5/conf.d/xcache.ini</tt> And set <tt>xcache.var_size</tt> to some sensible value. 16M should do.<br><br> /etc/php5/conf.d/xcache.ini was not present. There must be some assumed steps missing...<br>
