sorry, *buntu groan
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
there's an open source version, here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=204462
Else, the originals are on VMWorkstation

Some useful tips in the comments below the storyI found myself going back to playing with LiveCDs because I could boot into a pre-configured environment. One that looks just like the developer wanted it to look (provided you have all the right and supported hardware). The best way to do this would be if every developer realized the power of virtualization and made a VM for their project. But since they don't all do that and some still take the time to do a LiveCD, I've now gone to booting LiveCDs within virtual machines.

Just some notes about that; in order to run it I downloadedrobermann79 wrote:mmm I've tried to download and install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.i386.bundle.
If you want VMware's virtual machine. specifically, I'm going to try to package one up today, but no guarantees that it'll work right away.saphir92 wrote:any VMware player package for puppy 511 ?
VBox should handle the actual disk images, though it might not import the settings, which are stored in a different file. Those are trivial enough to reset, though, should the need arise.saphir92 wrote:hi,
yes the purpose is to use WMware's virtual machines.
If you tell me that VirtualBox can use the vmware's images, i will try it !
Thanks
