bye bye vmware!

想要用vmware player卻不知到怎麼樣create image的人可以參考一下下面這個link
的第21篇回文 http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000153064739/
重點節錄：
You can use QEMU-img.exe to create VMDK(VMare virtual disk files meaning you
don't need to download the browser image. Also I think this will create files
that can be used as ide drives.
結論：
有了QEMU + vmware player就可以不花錢使用user friendly的virtual machine。
補充：
QEMU也有gui介面了。。。 http://www.davereyn.co.uk/download.htm

Hey, Incase you don't read slashdot? You can use QEMU-img.exe to create
VMDK(VMare virtual disk files meaning you don't need to download the browser
image. Also I think this will create files that can be used as ide drives.
Quick and easy:
1 Download the the vmplayer
2. create a vmdk disk file like this:
qemu-img.exe create -f vmdk
3.Create a vmx config file. Here are the basic options you need:
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "3"
memsize = "128"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "DiskFile.vmdk"

-------TO BOOT AN ISO----------
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "c:\debian.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
-----------------------------------
OR
-------TO BOOT CDROM-----------
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
---------------------------------
floppy0.fileName = "A:"
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
usb.present = "TRUE"
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.virtualDev = "es1371"
displayName = "Debian 1"
guestOS = "other24xlinux"
nvram = "debian1.nvram"
scsi0:0.redo = ""
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
uuid.location = "56 4d f3 a5 03 8c cb b9-ed bb 8f 10 a3 de b0 10"
uuid.bios = "56 4d f3 a5 03 8c cb b9-ed bb 8f 10 a3 de b0 10"
ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:de:b0:10"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
checkpoint.vmState = ""
tools.remindInstall = "TRUE"
ide0:0.redo = ""
Now just run up the vmx file in the player. Boot the cdrom/iso and install
the os as usual.

qemu-img convert
eg. qemu-img convert -f vmdk /path/filename.vmdk -O raw /path/filename.raw
