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 vmware 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
