/me taps mikeis this thing on?

===repost

I don't have VMware, but I do have Virtual PC and have some experience
with this.

First, just rename the bin file to iso, no big deal.

Second, does VMware allow the specification of using a floppy image? 
Virtual PC does, so I point the floppy to the extracted bootdisk.ima and
the CD to the ISO image and it's all good.  When you save the
configuration, it'll add the db files to the bootdisk.ima file. 

When you want to burn a CD, I extract the files from the ISO, putting
them in a folder called LEAF.  I rename the original bootdisk.ima file
to bootdisk.ima.original.  Then I fire up Nero or Roxio and make a
bootable CD using my modified bootdisk.ima file for the floppy image. 

This makes configuring the system so much easier than doing it onsite
with the customer breathing over you.

Good luck,

Tony

 Does the VMWare Server user/group have access all the

 Are there any problems with virtual or physical nics you
 are giving the VM access to.
 



 Hi

 i have seen its downloaded with .bin File
 yes iam running vmware as Local user, so Administrator have Full rights to
 access the Files

 .bin is the ISO image, i see i have downloaded the other ISO, they are
 coming with .ISO image. why is here Bin ?


 No i have not tried that Burning CD, since i have option of
 installtion using ISO image, dont want to waste Another CD
 (may be i could do the last option)

Check that you don't have a problem with the .iso image
itself.  Burn it to CD, does it boot?  Check the md5 sum.

Does the VMWare Server user/group have access all the
way along the path to the .iso

Are there any problems with virtual or physical nics you

 Try to get the bootdisk.ima from the ISO and tell your VMWare to boot from
 that floppy image.

 Another solution is to extract all files and then rebuild the ISO with
 'mkisofs'
