A little walkthrough on how to use VMware 4 images in BOCHS and Linux.

[Wierd Wierd]

I created this to show that VMware can create and use
'Raw' disk images, and Vizzini said I should post it
here for everybody.  He seemed most enthused about
being able to mount the disk image under linux...

Anyway, here we go:

(beware linewrapping)

Please enjoy, and note that this is specific to VMware
4, since I dont have previous versions to test with.

VMWare 2.x and 3.x can use raw images too. Just create disk of type
"plain disk". This will create file name_of_the_disk_image1.dat that can
be used or mounted as any other disk image.
