I am using vmware-server-1.0.4-56528 on Ubuntu 7.10 and I cannot find the vmware-diskmanager utility. In fact, there is no /vmware/bin on my system. I built vmware-server and vmware-mui from sources, is there another package I should have downloaded?

great write up. one quick note to more recent virtual server users, configs now have a .vmx extension on the end so you would do:

mv db1.vmx db2.vmx
sed -i 's/db1.vmdk/db2.vmdk/' db2.vmx

in step three.
