They describe VirtualBox, but I used VMware and used Linux Mint as my OS (nicer version of Ubuntu IMO). I ran the kitchen using the EVO rom image and I made my own ROM.

Do you know how I apply the unlock in the kitchen? The kitchen had the option, but I suspect this isn't made for the EVO at this time.

when u say unlock, are you referring to the "add root permissions" option?

if so, this is the script to add root:

scripts/ensure_boot_extracted

if [ -d WORKING_* ]
then
  clear
else
  exit 0
fi

echo - Add su entry to update-script file
echo - Edit default.prop in the ramdisk
echo - Build new boot.img
echo 
echo "Optional (will ask before proceeding):"
echo - Add /system/xbin/busybox 
echo - Add busybox entries to current update-script file
echo 

echo "Press Enter when you are ready"
