When looking for a VM Image which can boot with 64MB RAM or less, I came accross the excellent image created by Iwan Rahabok of VMWare. (original post here)

I needed serial console functionality so I re-mastered it using the guidelines posted at

A few things like openssh server and nginx have been included and are set to autostart (called from /opt/bootlocal.sh)
The interface configuration can be modified by editing /opt/eth0.sh

The disk image can be downloaded from this [GDrive Link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B26KUqxY6PmbWTkzT0Fway1ud28/view?usp=sharing)
