Hi Neil:

Along with the VMWare image, Dan has included a readme file that (I 
believe) explains how to start the system completely and how to connect 
with the staff client.  As I recall, the image requires that you create 
some symlinks in order for the downloaded staff client to work.  When 
you connect to the system, it will complain that such-and-such directory 
wasn't found, so you just create a symlink inside the Gentoo image for 
that directory...

The VMWare image should be all set to go.  For a scratch installation on 
Gentoo, 
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_prerequisites_on_gentoo.

I hope this helps clear some things up.  Don't hesitate to contact us 
again if you need more clarification or have more questions.

Sincerely Yours,
