VMware: Use .iso as virtual DVD drive

So I downloaded the evaluation version of VMware Workstation so I could create my own Linux VMs. I chose to use Fedore Core 4 as my Linux OS, so I downloaded the 2.6GB DVD ISO provided by RedHat. Much to my surprise, I didn’t even need to burn the image to a real DVD. VMware has a feature where you can bind a virtual optical drive to any of your physical drives… or to an .iso file on your desktop. Installing Linux has never been easier!
