Using an iso to create a VMware vmdk

Question

Can anyone point me to some documentation about how I can use an Iso to create a Vmware environment.

For instance, there's this guy who made his own version of Ubuntu, with loads of extra programs added. Before I try this, I'm gonna test it using vmware server. But I'm kinda confused as to how to do this with only the ISO file.

Answer 1

Just create a new VM and attach the ISO into the virtual CD-ROM drive. You can do this when you create the VM. When you boot it, you will be able to install it as if you were doing it on a real machine.
