Hi,
no one has a working solution?
My colleague managed it with a external harddisk on differernt computers,
but he only has the harddisk of the VM (the *.vmdk file) on the external
disk.
Everything else is on the host, so he doesn't change any Paths.
This is not the optimal solution, there must be a better one to have
everything possible inkl. boxes etc. on the external harddisk.
Thanks in advance
Marcus
