Quick tip if you ever want to convert from a fixed disk image to an expandable one then the following command should do it:
sudo vmware-vdiskmanager -r source.vmdk -t 0 expandable.vmdk
Just replace “source” and “expandable” with your disk image file names. For more on what vmware-vdiskmanager can do for you type vmware-vdiskmanager -h
A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc
# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
