Hi N3ncy,

Am very interested in this VM but all the torrents I have downloaded of this are corrupt.
Do you have a direct download or FTP please?

Thanks

I have two (2) emails off to VMware reporting this issue.
The original file itself was CRC checked by VMware after I uploaded it.
I am not sure what may have happened to it since then.
I do not have the file in a high bandwidth FTP location at this point.
If VMware cannot help us soon, I will buy some FTP space and upload it for you both to try.

While waiting for a response from VMware, I am also testing his fle via a bit torrent download again.

Sorry for the troubles, this is beyond my control at this point.
But I am working to have this rectified...

Open the file FreeBSD-000002.vmdk in notepad, search for the reference to d:\bsdapp\FreeBSD.vmdk and replace the drive and path with correct information. VM should then start with out issue.

OK, I have tested downloading this file several times.
Each time I am able to ungzip and untar it no problem.

I use Bit Comet as my torrent downloader:
http://www.bitcomet.com/

I use a trial (free) version of Winzip to extract the files:
http://www.winzip.com/

You could use free open source versions to ungzip and untar as well.
First , decompress the archive with gunzip:
http://www.gzip.org/
Then untar the files:
http://www.gzip.org/

And / or from most unix (Linux) machines you can decompress and extract all at once:
tar xvf filename.tar.gz

I did not test with winrar since I don't have or use that.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

there is a problem during extracting it with winRar, after testing it with winzip it works without any problems.

Hi,

I tried to run it on the new Virtual Server 1.0, on linux. I was able to download extract the tgz OK, and removed the D:\BSDapp as noted in a post above and just set

parentFileNameHint="FreeBSD.vmdk"

vmware-0.log:Jul 14 11:32:50: vmx| DISK: Failed to open disk '/srv/vm/BSDApp/FreeBSD-000002.vmdk' : The specified virtual disk needs repair (14) 3023.

The only obvious thing that I notice is that I see no reference to FreeBSD-flat.vmdk, which is the main file.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Sean
