> Can I avoid the CD creation route for installing the debian linux? I would just as soon get the linux kernal, ramdisk file system and a robust file system and create my linux guests using those files thereby forgoing the CD create intermediate step that appears to be required. I do not require any install aids. ------------------------ If you're using VMware, you can configure the cdrom for a vm to read from an ISO image on the host machine (at least that's how it works with a Windows host). Go to Settings -> Configuration Editor, then select the cdrom drive and choos the 'Use ISO image' button on the right side of window. Select ISO image file on host filesystem, and if it's a bootable image you're off and running with no cd burner and no network install tricks!
