Re: request for VMware image of Etch beta 3 release minimal netinstall

[Russell Ost <russell.ost@netliving.com>]

All,

I have posted two VMware images for download. One for Sarge, another for 
Etch. They both have VMware Tools loaded. They were built using the 
default desktop installation. The last time they were built was 9/10. 
You can find them at "www.netliving.com". I will post a fresh image 
every two months.
