[Live-demo] Instructions for running the LiveDemo from a browser on our development VM

[Alex Mandel]

For whatever odd reason I've been unable to get all the way to console
of the machine. Sometimes the VMware manager fails to bring up the login
and sometimes I just can't load the console. Probably some sort of
network lag issue.

Could someone who has managed to get in please post the build logs for RC1.

Thanks,
Alex
