+### BEGIN INIT INFO
+# Provides: live-vmware-player
+# Required-Start:
+# Required-Stop:
+# Default-Start:
+# Default-Stop:
+# Short-Description: Setup miscellaneous things for VMWarePlayer.
+# Description: The script tests for boot parameter of custom_options=ACTION:IMAGEPATH:VMXNAME
+# ACTION: The operation to perform on the workstation (none|scratch)
+# IMAGEPATH: The folder path to the VMWare image you want to run.
+# VMXNAME: The name of the VMWare image you want to run.
+# Notes:To use this file with WMWare images you will need to have a few things setup:
+# 1.) The VMWare Player needs to be installed in the image.
+# 2.) This script uses (s|h)da1 for writing image data, and is used as a scratch space.
+# This scratch space should be a file system with linux permissions such as ext2.
+# 3.) VMWare image(s) should be in a mounted folder and setup as follows:
+# - Image(s) set to snapshot mode.
+# - For each image, the image folder needs to have a file called image-release with a
+# variable CRELEASE. An example: CRELEASE="1.0.0"
+# The image-release file is used by the image maintainer and this script to tell
+# workstation(s) using a given image, to erase locally stored vmware image files
+# and setup with the newly configure image. The operation of erasing locally stored
+# vmare image files, is referred to as a scratch.
