I am in the process of trying to take some of our virtual machines on VMware and making them images to use with clonezilla so I can push them out to physical machines. I was wondering if this was possible, as well how hard this might be to accomplish? Seems like it might be fairly easy, can anyone push me in the right direction?

thanks,
kent

  What's the OS running on your virtual machines ?
  If it's MS windows, I believe you have to install sysprep from MS windows before you save it as an image.
  For GNU/Linux, normally you can just restore the image to physical machine. One thing you might want to do before imaging it is to remove the MAC address record of network card from the udev dir, e.g. For Debian Lenny, you have to clean the content of this file:
  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
