Thanks Poceh.
Appreciate the explanations and suggestions.
I want to be able to move the vms between different platforms, so I guess I'll have to learn this.
Part of the problem I have is I don't know enough to know what I don't know. (unconscious incompetent) :-)
What type of keywords would I use to search for V2V conversions with Linux distros? Something like "v2v linux boot live-cd" ....??
Sorry for the question that shows my total stupidity with this but if I don't ask I can spend hours trying to find a relevant thread. Just some pointers please as I need to learn this for myself so I can develop my skills.
Thanks again for your help!!
