Hi,

builing and running http://imunes.net/virtnet/vimage_7-20081015.tgz
on a 7.0-RELEASE or 7.1-PRERELEASE should be pretty straightforward: 
just unpack the vimage_7 src tree; cd src/sys/i386/conf; config VIMAGE; 
cd ../compile/VIMAGE; make depend; make; make install and you're done.
You'll also need to compile the vimage(8) utility -> cd 
src/usr.sbin/vimage; make; make install -> done.  You'll most probably 
want to upgrade your userland from 7.0-RELEASE to RELENG_7 or 
RELENG_7_1 in order for the utilities like sockstat and netstat to work 
properly - the simpler alternative would be doing the installation from 
a recent 7.x snapshot ISO...

For the GUI, the latest version can be fetched from anoncvs:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.imunes.net:/usr/local/src/cvsroot co 
imunes

cd imunes; ./install.sh -> done

Note that you need to have tk-8.4 installed for the GUI to work, and 
most probably you'll want quagga and or xorp as well (from ports).

Good luck,

Marko
