You can use it that way: ./make-vmdk.sh 4 90-RC3 test9 You will get a tes9.ova.xz image the disk size will be a 4G one, the xz will take 100M. you can import it in vbox it will work ootb, it should work on v= mware I hope, currently no feedback on vmware for the last changes. Here is an example http://files.etoilebsd.net/ova/test9.ova.xz No tunning on the OS yet regards, Bapt --Xm/fll+QQv+hsKip Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk7xjNwACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExNJACgiK7E5/cXZPwIQJ7YhMq4ybUY dGYAnRg+ZYY2GGgBJRbpuBINgvxKEz3e =9NAM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Xm/fll+QQv+hsKip--
