Ok... here's what I did.

1. Copied my entire "vmware" folder to an external HDD before installing edgy.
1. Installed Edgy (Clean)
2. Installed VMware Player
3. Copied my entire "vmware" folder from the external HDD to my home dir on edgy.
4. Launched VMware Player and navigated to my .vmx file.

It works, but I have some questions.

1. It takes a VERY, VERY, VERY long time to boot up to the desktop. The "vmware" folder is about 10GB. Could this be an issue? The guest OS(Win XP) has 1532MB memory allocated to it. The max says 1724MB before memory swapping may occur. Should I crank it up to the max?

$ free -g tells me I have 1GB of mem. for the host. I believe I have 2GB of mem total. How do I find this out for sure?

Once it's up and running, it runs like it always ran. A little slow, but it worked ok.

What can I do to solve this prob? Do I need to uninstall apps on the guest? It actually took about 15-20 min. to boot up to the desktop.

I also had a problem trying to copy and move back my VM's, but this is in Windows. I have VMware installed on a Windows XP machine with the VM's on another hard drive. I copied it out to an external hard drive, then installed a new hard drive, copied the VM's back into the new hard drive, and the VM's would not recognize their configuration. If they did, I could not modify them. In a nutshell, it worked but was funky. I just ended up reinstalling all the VM's again and that fixed the problem. I am, however, weary of moving them to another directory and/or drive.

Man this is strange... I just loaded up my vm and it came up MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH faster. I didn't do much at all to the machine...??? Very strange stuff... Today I installed beryl, but that was about it....

Ohhh... I did apt-get update??? Get this... VMware Player seems to be running the VM better than VMware Workstation???? Very weird. My next step is installing Workstation. Is there a good howto somewhere? Thanks all...
