Ubuntu Command-Line open VMWare on boot

[prof2004]

Hi

First of all, greatings everyone, as this is my first post.

Second, i have a serie of questions for the one that answer me:

1- Imagine i want a minimal ubuntu distribution, that boots in command line. Is this possible? How to do it?

2- Imagine that i want my "minimal command-line Buntu" to start VMWare/VirtualBox on start-up. Is this possible? How to do it?

3- Imagine that i want my "virtualbox minimal command-line Buntu" to load-n-start an virtualized operating system on the fly. Is this possible? How to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Hum... i was thinking in something more easy to do, like installing a ubuntu minimal distribution, vmware in it and doing something like discribed here:

But need guidance how to do it (if it can be done in 1st place...)
