James,

Here’s something that might help. Someones created a VMDK file that can be used with VMware Player. Also there’s several links to download from.

Crikey… what an effort to get Chrome working! Think I’ll just stick with OSX for the next 12 months instead
Thanks for the advice though.

James, It looks like SoftPedia.com switched their link from the iso to the open source code. Here’s a link on how to convert the code.

Hi,

I don’t get an ISO from your link, just a tar.gz, which when extracted doesn’t contain an ISO, but the compiled code for the OS.
Did you create an ISO yourself from these files or am I doing something very wrong.. ?

Cheers.
