My biggest problem is that my work laptop =has= to be Windoze, because of corporate lunacy. I installed Vmware Player on it so I can do actual useful work from within a VM of linux.

I built the VM I use on the laptop under VMware workstation on my desktop, then copied it over.

Do you know of a reliable way to convert from a Busybox VM to something that will work with vmware player?

I’m pretty pissed at Broadcom at the moment, as I have had a heck of a time to even find the binaries for installing workstation, and then I get freaking errors trying to compile the modules on launch.

Not sure I understand the question--BusyBox is not a VM format. It's a small (or embedded) system set of utilities. Can't you just install it on a vmware VM?
