Migrating Ubuntu Hardy VMWare guests

I've seen this problem so many times I just have to quickly blog it.

If you make a copy of a Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) vmware guest and you can't get any network (your eth0 suddenly becomes eth1 or eth2) - make sure you remove the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and then reboot. This will fix your problem, in previous Ubuntus it was the /etc/iftab file (which is a well documented fix) but it's all different in Hardy.
