Thanks a lot for your help - on the advice of various people I actually moved 
this over to current@; the 'current' (geddit?) state of play is that vmware 
runs ok,  but the vm doesn't boot, and I did make a note of all the relevant 
error messages (at least I think they were relevant, and I think it was all 
of them...)

Thanks a lot for your help (and everyone else's, even if I seemed to spurn 
their good advice), I really appreciate it!

Cheers,
Ben
