Re: [newbie] VMWare 3
Thanks to all who suggested fixes for my problem. There were some bios settings that were wrong by default and I had to change the cdrom device from /mnt/cdrom to /mnt/cdrom1 to get it to work. Now all I need to figure out is how to get my network connection going. It has installed the network card drivers and I have configured the network settings in config, but still won't install my cable software through my lan. Previously I have had to only install vmnet 0 and none of the others to get it to work. I have done that this time and it still won't work. Any ideas there?

Re: [newbie] VMWare 3
I answered 'yes' to continue with GCC 2.96 and it seems to have worked OK. I'm re-installing Win2K in my vmWare session as I type this message.

Re: [newbie] VMWare 3
Damian, thanks for the reply. I have gotten it to work, but I get errors related to not being able to find a bootable cd-rom or floppy. Restart and try again. I didn't have these probs before and figured it was something to do with the recompilation. The devices are set up and there, they just won't boot. Without being able to do this, I can't install an OS. Got any other suggestions? Thanks, Wayne __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

BTW if you get errors during module compilation, then before running vmware-config.pl you may need to $ export CC=gcc Have fun. Damian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] VMWare 3
I just installed 8.2 and went to install VMware 3, but it tells me it was not built for this kernel version. It does allow you to try and rewrite the softare for vmware, but it then tells me that gcc v. 2.96 is not supported by the development team. Is anyone else out there using VMWare 3, and does it work OK? There are some windoze programs that I still need to use, but if I cannot get them to run here, it looks like it will be back to a windoze install. Thanks, Wayne __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[newbie] vmware 3,.0 and samba
Has anyone here got vmware 3 and samba to work? I have been through the setup shown in three different texts, as well as half a dozen websites. I cannot get XP to recognise the host filesystem. I have been trying to use the support section on vmwares site, but the whole site seems to be down. Anyone who could help me out here? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Wayne __ Do You Yahoo!?
