Re: [expert] CD-Rom in VMWare/Linux
Dear Warren: Thank you so much for responding. I finally got the CD to work by configuring Win98 manually instead of using the Configuration Wizard. I configured the S-M as a /dev/cdrom and everything worked. Thank you so much for writing. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net
Re: [expert] CD-Rom in VMWare/Linux
Is your floppy working in VMWare? - should be. IIRC the windows boot disk has generic CD drivers, Mitsumi included, try starting the install of W98 from floppy(hit option "start computer with cdrom support" & 9/10 times the bootdisk will find the correct driver for your cdrom) -WBD ...who has reinstalled W98 more times than he cares to remember - - Original Message - From: "Benjamin Sher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Air-Exp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2000 10:41 AM Subject: [expert] CD-Rom in VMWare/Linux > Dear Stephen and friends: > > Thanks so very much for trying to help and for your advice. > > This seems to be the chicken and the egg question.

[expert] CD-Rom in VMWare/Linux
Dear Stephen and friends: Thanks so very much for trying to help and for your advice. This seems to be the chicken and the egg question. How do I install the Mitsumi driver in Dos/Windows if Win98 is not even installed? I need to install Win98 first, but I can't without the Mitsumi driver, which needs to be installed in Dos/Windows. It's a vicious circle, isn't it. Obviously, I am missing somthing. Please enlighten me on this. Looking forward (very much) Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net
