[Gluster-users] Live CD or alternative format to Live USB stick

[James Devine]

I was able to use the vmdk in a vsphere 4 esx environment.  I just
copied and gunziped the file on the esx server, created a new VM and
attached the existing disk.  It recognized it as an IDE device and let
me boot from it, the install seemed to work fine from there.
