[ros-dev] Image downloads...

[Andrew Smith]

Hi,

It's my first time posting here, but I've been reading it for a little
while now and I've just looked at the download section of the website
again and noticed that there are premade images for Qemu and Bochs yet
none for VMware or Virtual PC.

Is this just because no one has created one? or are there other
reasons (like licencing reasons)?

If it's because no one makes one then I'd be happy to make a ZIP of
the files needed that you can host. With the 0.2.4 release the ZIP is
6,232,010 bytes which includes

ROS
VMware driver
6.0 GB sparse virtual hard drive split into 2 GB files (setup as IDE 0:0)
Auto-detect CD-ROM (setup as IDE1:0)
Floppy drive
Bridged NIC1
USB Controller
Audio
256MB virtual RAM

If you're interested then let me know. I know having a 0.2.4 ZIP is
kind of pointless now with 0.2.5's release date set for the 31st. But
I could get a ZIP of that release if you'd like one.
