You can try the "Upgrade to GNU utilities". It will increase your chances of success.

Has anyone succeeded with this?

I am also intersted in having a small linux distribution that is very easy to run and to install on the hd and that comes with the free VMware Player already installed.

The idea would be to install DSL on all machines and load from there a specific VMWare virtual machine.

Can anyone help me out with this?

If there is somebody out there who might be interested to do it for some development fee, I might consider it.

Regards.

I suggest that you first read the VMWARE PLAYER DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT: http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/player_distribution.html

I don't want to distribute this or any part of it.

I simply want to build it and use it and i don't have the knowledge to do it and therefore I ask for assistance.

I don't see where's the problem.

regards
