Scott Lowe has an interesting blog post – about grabbing the image form the Installable Version of ESX3i and transfering it to memory stick… using an Apple MAC. At the moment ESX4i is being distributed in the beta programme as DD image file that you can use the DD command from Linux to transfer an image to the memory stick. I happen to have 4 memory sticks worth of ESX3i from VMworld 2007. It was realitively painless process – I hope when it comes to the time of Vi4 GA that they allow this DD version to circulate – as its the easiest way to update the sticks. It’s a kin to flashing them…
