[Live-demo] Getting rc2 running in VirtualBox on OS X 10.6

[Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio]

Hi, Dane,

You have not downloaded a ISO image but a virtual machine. The right instructions are a few lines below the ones you have followed:

cat image.7z.0 image.7z.1 image.7z.2 > image.7z

then uncompress the .7z file.

On linux:

# install
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

# uncompress
7z x <filename.7z>

That will give you a 10 Gigabyte file (!!) which you should be able to open with Virtual Box.

Regards,
Juan Lucas
