In any case, one would still have to activate the right partition. So for booting the first time I would create a grub boot disk, and boot manually. Once in the system, install grub for real.

simple, tar it up (the whole root fs) and untar in real pc environment. mind you, you need to re-configure all the devices before you can make the vmware copy fully working in your real pc environment. tong thanks for all the suggestion! I know the tool dd and tar . what I really ask for help is : how to re-configure all the devices? And, I have got a knoppix system on my box! Is there some help to use the configs of the knoppix ?

I don't know what version of knoppix you are using, but be ready, it won't be too easy. Actually, if you are familiar with knoppix, I'd recommend grml, because I think it's the best Live CD for me so far. check out grml.org. It derived from Knoppix, but is now pure Debian based, thus far better than Knoppix to me. It's a live CD, but you can also get a working pure Debian system on HD within minutes. I'm using Debian Testing now, which was its HD installation. With the help of grml, you only need to care about your root fs, all the rest, devices configurations are taken care of by grml automatically. check out the rest at my old post at: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/249330 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks for the info of grml, I had take a look in it. It seem to fit me well:clean, no gnome or kde. I really hate big wm! I will have a try of it.
