Hi, For my VMware install (Fusion)
http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_vmware I am able to increase the disk size of the uploaded image to 2GB at the start. => Hard Disk: Disk size: increase to 2.00 GB and check Pre-allocate disk space (optional), then click Apply. I'm not sure how that translates to ESXi .
