i suggest burning or buying a debian cd to install from. i do not think
vmware can mount an iso9660 image as a vmware virtual disk. of course
once you have linux installed u can have linux mount the image ..
having the real cd saves (me at least) a lot of pain and trouble that i
sometimes encounter doing net installs.
