You can create a virtual machine with vmware, using a physical disc or an iso image, and when it is installed you have a file with .vmdk extension, so you can save this file and use whenever you want to save time.
When you want to reuse this file, you have to do this steps:
select Create new virtual machine -> select custom ->
on compatibility page take defaults ->
check I will install OS later -> click through several pages choosing other for OS, make sure it IS NOT in the same folder as the VMDK file.
You will now see a screen asking to select disk, select existing virual disk. then browse and select the VMDK file
