You can download it here http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/vditool Here you are a VMWare to VirtualBox example, got it from http://adoldo.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/da-vmware-a-virtualbox-virtuale-open-source-e-meglio/ $ sudo apt-get install qemu $ wget http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/vditool $ chmod +x vditool $ mv vditool /usr/local/bin/ $ qemu-img convert -f vmdk /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/MCNLive/MCNLive.vmdk -O raw MCNLive.img $ vditool DD MCNLive.vdi MCNLive.img $ mv MCNLive.vdi .VirtualBox/VDI/ On this article the compact step left: $ vditool SHRINK VirtualBox/VDI/MCNLive.vdi This is necessary if your VMWare uses a 10 GB dynamic disks, but just has 2 GB used. After qemu conversion, your image will be 10 GB. I use this steps once to convert a VMWare appliance to VirtualBox. -- Saludos, Luis Gallardo _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
