Has anyone built a VMWare image of Chrome OS yet so I can try it out?

and what about the "custom firmware" in that case? mmmh... I'm a little concerned

please share if exists

there is an image_to_vmware.sh in src/scripts - that should do the trick [I will check it after dinner :) ]
- Marco Fabbri
I'm also interested in this VMWare image.... This could be a great find and resource.

Bret, I haven't tried it, but there you go: http://www.wuala.com/chromeo...

Just tried that VMware chrome OS image, it is a SUSE Linux distribution with GNOME, GDM is customized with Google Chrome logo, and also Google Chrome browser, that's it for now :S.

Arg! I can confirm, it's a fake (the live cd) :(
- Brandon
I thought I was going to get something like http://friendfeed.com/orlando...
- Orlando Pozo
Let's see Brandon, I am anxious to test this thing :)
- Orlando Pozo
The build is also pretty broken. It is missing a bunch of the Google packages like google-gflags. I am almost done with a build - we'll see :)
- Bret Taylor
Nice Bret, post it when you can.
- Orlando Pozo
So the consensus is that the VMX image is indeed a fake correct?
- George B
Yes, this is fake http://getchrome.eu/downloa...
- Orlando Pozo
Looking forward to it too

Techcrunch has a confirmed iso and has posted a tutorial: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

Brandon, that worked out the box. VMWare doesn't recognize the NIC, use VirtualBox instead.
- Orlando Pozo
Virtualbox doesn't support OpenGL (Xgl), so you won't see effects like this http://www.youtube.com/watch... :(
- Orlando Pozo
I built it earlier, check it out at: http://gdgt.com/google... And we just released a VirtualBox and Bootable USB image (not mentioned in that TC article).

Christopher's gdgt link looks good to me.

Run Chrome. Go to your gmail. Open second tab for your contacts. Open third tab for your calendar. Now you are running Chrome OS. ; >
- Cole Jolley
Why oh why do I have to register (gdgt.com) to download the image?
- Özkan Altuner
here it is: http://www.easy-share.com/347XXXX... This should work as you can see in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch... (it's in italian but you will get the point!)
- Alessandro
you can get one at http://www.gdgt.com. Just search for Chrome OS

I tried it but I had to install vmware workstation to work it out. I am not able to get the native resolution. It is stuck at 800x600.
