Description Yi Zhao 2014-09-16 06:08:40 UTC 
Image location: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/yocto-1.7_M3.rc2/build-appliance/

Git rev: master/429802fe6691c8a70ec9735c0db4c6a4e1e1b038

Currently the vmdk image path is hardcoded in Yocto_Build_Appliance.vmx:

sata0:0.fileName = "/mnt/Yo/yoctoproject/VMs/BA/Yocto_Build_Appliance.vmdk"

If I extracted the image to a different directory and start to launch the vmdk in Vmware-workstation, I got the following error:

File not found: /mnt/Yo/yoctoproject/VMs/BA/Yocto_Build_Appliance.vmdk

I must correct the path in vmx file manually.

It's better to use a relative path in the config file. I try to change it with 
sata0:0.fileName = "Yocto_Build_Appliance.vmdk" . It works well.
