I'd like to be able to create my own ubuntu-based livecd image.
I would create one with vmware player installed.
As I start seeing bus-powered drives that approach 10GB (20GB?) that should be enough to store on a single usb drive
-the "livecd" bootable linux which includes vmware player
-the vm image with "my real" os (the guest, another instance of ubuntu ;-)!
this would still leave the option open to run the vm with a player installed on the pc
(i'd install the vm image on a fat32 partition),
but if that is not doable, I could boot from the usb drive and then run the vm from there.
has anyone done this yet ?
PS it's not new conceptually! google for 'soulpad'
