Installing VMware ESXi on a USB memory stick using Ubuntu

Note: Une alternative GPL à winimage

« For those looking for a WinImage alternative I successfully used “DD for Windows” found here: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd

I used:

dd bs=1M if=VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0-67921.i386.dd of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 –progress

I found the path to my removable drive by using the “dd –list” command and then looking in the “NT Block Device Objects” list for the first removable media where the size was the same as my USB flash drive.

Not as sleek as WinImage, but since this is GPL and the only time I expect to ever write a DD image file to a drive, it is much easier than registering yet another piece of software. »
