VMware Player "hacked"

A few days ago VMWare released "VMWare Player" which can run virtual machines but cannot create them.
Today I saw this how-to on hackaday.
I just installed Ubuntu and it works great!

Here is my modified how-to:

• install the VMWare Player
• download the "Browser Appliance" virtual machine
• make a test run of the virtual machine to verify that it works
• download the Ubuntu CD-Image
• replace these two lines in the file "Browser-Appliance.vmx":
  

  ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"
  ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

  by these:
  

  ide1:0.fileName= "ubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso"
  ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
  

• start the virtual machine and press ctrl-g to direct the
  input to the virtual machine
• press escape and boot from cd-rom
• install ubuntu
• revert the changes made above
• done (you may want to delete the iso which you don't need
  anymore)
