Hello, current! How are you?
When I needed to experiment with 4.6-RELEASE and I didn't have
``free'' computer, I installed 4.6-RELEASE on VMWare. It works
pretty well and I was totally satisfied.
My host is: 2xP!!!-770Mhz, 512Mb of memory, Hardware RAID with
2x40Gb IBM IDE HDDs (and one simple system disk). Host OS is W'2000 WS.
Now I'm trying to look at 5.0-RELEASE (I've downloaded ISO of first
i386 CD).
It doesn't work under VMWare 3.2! Ok, it works, really. But speed is
VERY low. I even could not do installation! Unpacking of
distributive have been started at normal speed, but after 2 or 3
minutes speed decreased to 6Kb/s and after that to 1Kb/s! `top' on
emergency console shows, that cpio+gunzip take only 5% of CPU,
system takes 25% of CPU and interrupts takes 70% of CPU!
4.6-RELEASE installs on same VMWare virtual computer without any
problems and works very fast!
Is it problem of VMWare or 5.0-RELEASE? Is it known problem? I could
provide any additional information, if needed.
