Hi
I presume you want a clone of the setup on a USB disk.
look at
http://legroom.net/2007/08/05/how-mount-vmware-disk-images-under-linux
I am using vmware to run windows xp in ubuntu
To access the vmdk disk for reading and writing do the following script - have
only 1 partition on vmware disk
#!/bin/bash
cd where vmdk is located
sudo modprobe nbd
sudo vmware-loop vm.vmdk 1 /dev/nbd0
I then open another terminal and run another script
#!/bin/bash
sudo chmod 777 /dev/nbd0
sudo mount /dev/nbd0 /home/john/aa
echo "to umount sudo umount /dev/nbd0"
This gives you full access to the vmware drive from within the operating
system
I leave it to you to copy the files to the USB stick or iso in the appropriate
manner
