Creating VMware images with VMware player

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 6/14/2006

I have a short article up on NewsForge today about creating VMware images using VMware Player. This might be useful if you don't have the money for VMware Workstation, and don't feel like messing with a full-blown VMware Server install.

For me, it was mostly just fun to figure out how to do it, and I thought I might as well get an article out of it after spending a few hours on the weekend mucking around with it.

    Hi, I read your article at NewsForge.
    It's a good piece, but I think you could point out that there are tools available to help you build virtual machines for VMware Player.

    There's Robert and Ulli's VMX Builder:

    And then there's my own project:

    Your comment assumes that I knew about those projects, but thanks for the links...
