[yocto] Problems building live image

[K Richard Pixley]

If I add that line, (

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"

), to my local.conf, I get:

    rich at burgess> time bitbake core-image-minimal
    ERROR:  OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential
    misconfiguration.
         Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable
    the checker (see sanity.conf).
         Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

         Error, IMAGE_FSTYPES vmdk and live can't be built together


    Summary: There was 1 ERROR message shown, returning a non-zero exit
    code.

Building yocto-2.0 for genericx86-64.  What am I doing wrong?
