I had one problem with following the iOn docs, which is that it requested some packages from debian.o-hand.com. For the last few days I have seen this:

Is it possible that you could send me the required packages, or have some idea where else I might find them? I'm building on a 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine on i686 hardware.

I used to have my DR development in a (VirtualBox) VM with Ubuntu 8.04 32 bits but some months ago I moved it to my main desktop computer, a Fedora 15 Linux 64 bits.
It's much faster... I mean I don't have to share folders from one machine to the other to copy files or switch the desktop to consult documentation and I even don't need those external packages from debian.o-hand.com, just the packages IREX supplied and some shell scripts to prepare the shell vars environment.
If you are familiar with linux and use it as your main desktop computer, go for this same option and don't use a VM.
