[BlueOnyx:08582] Re: vmware

[Tony C. Loosle]

I have tried the vmware converter, on a standalone machine, and via the 
client/server version.  Both fail to connect to the bx server.   I think 
it wants the grub loader and I have the lilo loader.  At least I think 
that is what is stopping it from working.....

Thanks for all the info.  Still working on this.     I know I can cmu 
export and import, but looking for a lazy way to do this.
