You don't even need to do that. Grab one of the images from the VMWare
site (One of the smaller ones), and edit the .vmx file. You can make
as many, customizable, copies as you like, too.

Alternatively, you could just grab the VMWare Server Beta, which is
also free (Though registration for a "Licence key" is required) and
has all the tools needed to create new Virtual Machines.
