That's funny, you did answer the minute I sent my email :)
Right, sorry for the misunderstanding! A demo disk image, gotcha.
These might be of use in conjunction with the factory disk images:

Could maybe include a vmx file to load both the demo package and Haiku's VM.
Or a plain old zip file with files would do too.
Good luck.
