vmware on debian-live

[unixabg at gmail.com (Richard Nelson)]

Greetings,

I think you can drop in to a shell with this FAQ will help Q: How do I
launch an interactive shell during the chroot stage?
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ#head-a70ec1b8095ccd1717a32076667714a748008c59

Then do your work in the chroot shell to make vmware operations work.
On this note I believe there is a boot param hook= that is either
already in or coming in that might allow you to inject your setup but
for the vmware-server it would be easier to just chroot and build in
image.

reference build process here -

 * The hard way, using meta helpers:

    # lh_config
    # cd debian-live
    # <edit config/* to match your needs>
    # lh_bootstrap
    # lh_chroot
    # lh_binary
    # lh_source

I hope I have this correct for you.
