hello list,
i bought i laptop with windows xp pre-installed. i shrunk the windows partition to install my gentoo linux, which is what i normally use. but the machine is still dual boot. several years ago (8-9) i tried a 30-days demo version of vmware and it was quite efficient running windows in a virtual machine under linux. now i found that there are many ebuilds to install vmware, and i'm a bit confused: first, there are many different ebuilds, what do i need to run the windows xp i have installed in a different partition? second, vmware is not free in the sense that you have to buy it, what does the ebuild install? a free version? a demo? i found a few pages on the net explaining how to install vmware on gentoo, but i'm not clear about those issues. thanks for any hint. best, lj -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
