Not hard to find, but not working either!

For openers, wrong iso name is referenced in vmx. But even after fixing that, still won't boot.

I'll look at the vmx that comes with the Ubuntu-based browser appliance (which is considerably more complex) and see if I can make any sense out of it.

No luck. Tried adapting the vmx and helper files that shipped with the browser applicance VMWare offers, but it doesn't work. Fails during the PXEboot emualtion. Someone with a full copy of VMWare Workstation is going to have to generate the package for 2.1b 2.1vmx works fine.

It works here, thanks very much to the compiler!
There is a typo in the VMX you need to edit-

ide1:0.filename = "dsl-2.1.isob" should be

ide1:0.filename = "dsl-2.1b.iso"

And after fixing typo you need to clean files VMX created in first boot try.

OK, so how would one go about using VMware Player and this vm on a thumb drive? Does the Player have to be specific to the o/s one wants to run the vm on?

What size thumb drive would be required to run both the Player ane this vm?

Thanks
