Hmmm. On my machine kvm-img returns 'command not found' and I've been unable
to find a package that includes it. I did find this on the internet earlier
today
qemu-img convert -c -p -O qcow2 vmname.vmdk vmname.qcow2
but after I had run it, the VM refused to start.
I have now discovered that the QT qemu launcher (aqemu), also allows for
importing VMWare images and so I am running it now.
I'll report on the results later (or tonight at the pub) since I'm going out
shortly.
