| + | ====== Copying VMWare Virtual Machines ====== | ||
| + | These instructions assume that I have a virtual machine directory called "Win_XP_Base". You can, of course, do this with any virtual machine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Copy the VM directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | cp -r Win_XP_Base Win_XP_<name> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Switch to the new directory and edit the vmx file. Replace Win_XP_Base with Win_XP_<name> | ||
| + | |||
| + | vim Win_XP_<name>.vmx | ||
| + | |||
| + | Rename Win_XP_Base* files to Win_XP_<name>* | ||
| + | |||
| + | Edit the vmdk file. Replace Win_XP_Base with Win_XP_<name>. | ||
| + | |||
| + | vim Win_XP_<name>.vmdk | ||
| + | |||
| + | Get the permissions right. The directory should be 755, the files 700. | ||
