Re: [newbie] VMWare question
I have found the following site useful for windows problems: http://www.petri.co.il/ You might also try the VMWare forums accessible from the VMWare support page If you have a working installation of w2k, you should be able to modify the following instructions to roll your own bootable copy of w2k: http://www.4saad.com/WhatsNew/Fresh_XP_Install/index.htm The instructions worked as advertized for XP. I have found that installing OSes onto VMWare using real CDs to be a PITA because the drive is only indirectly connected to the VM. It goes much faster if you create an iso image of your CD and point VMWare to the iso file. Lastly, I always thought my w2k cd was bootable, but I only ever tried to install in VMWare where it didn't boot. Since it wouldn't boot in VMWare, I ended up installing w98 and then upgrading to w2k completely overwriting the w98 installation.

Re: [newbie] vmware-config.pl
I ran into a slightly different problem with VMware, I had 4 installed and working with 10CE (using the any script), did a couple of kernel updates, then updated VMware to 4.5. When I ran VMware after the update for the first time it informed me that I had to run the config script again, no big deal, but then informed me that my kernel headers didn't match my kernel. A uname -r returns 2.6.3-4mdk, but my headers now are /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-9mdk, an obvious mismatch. After screwing around for a while I ended up installing the kernel source for 2.6.3-4 from the 10CE DVD (I had to manually find them and force it, urpmi etc didn't help), which of course removed the 2.6.3-9 headers. I then configured VMware with no problem, and after that redid the kernel updates.

Re: [newbie] VMWare Workstation 3.2.0 Serial Number
From: Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 20:29:26 -0500 I believe there's a crack in this theory I gave up that theory of operation when I quit winsux 'Sides, the good cracks were gettin harder to find anyhow ; Linux has made an honest man out'a me Seriously I agree with your sentiment about cracks in general. But, it seems that everything that is involved with MS (and you have to have a licensed copy of ms-win to run as a guest) gets tainted. After I received Stephen's message about the time-limited s/n, but before his hint, I gave VMWare a telephone call to see what they had to say for themselves and how long the time period would be for. The salesman confirmed that I had a legitimate user license and was entitled to an s/n to use the software. However, according to him, vmware only provides them for the current version. So to get an s/n, I'd have to download a version that I didn't need or want and then install that version instead of the one I had. He confirmed that Workstation 4 had only been released in April and that Workstation 3.2.0 would also be entitled to at least 18 months of web site support (no telephone or anything like that) beginning in April -- this is written on their web site. He then carefully explained to me that the hash in the user license was not the s/n, the s/n was 20 numbers in four groups of five, the hash was in four groups of eight. Frankly, I felt that VMWare was doing a bait and switch which is illegal in the country and state in which they have their corporate headquarters. After the salesman's description of the s/n, I was prepared to play around a bit with the hash to see what I could come up with. However, I had no intention of buying their software under those terms. By their own admission I am in legal possession of a licensed copy of their software, and they refuse to honor that. In general, even when dealing with MS, I abide by terms of the agreements. That's one of the reasons I've begun migrating all my systems to Linux. I can't deal with MS's licenses -- their terms are outrageous and unfair. In any event, my two cents on the subject :^). deedee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

OK? The easiest is just change directories to the one holding the rpm and go. I just add a /downloads directory in /home and install from there. At least I usually do when I'm playing with something other than cooker or a beta. :-) Meanwhile, once you get that bit out of the way, the installation of VMware is rather easy. You run vmware-config.pl and follow the instructions (do this in a terminal window). Once that's done and it's installed properly, break out with a Win98 bootable installation CD and start VMWare (however you want to start it - just typing vmware in a term gets it going) - follow the wizard through how to create a virtual IDE drive and all that cool jazz, then once you've setup the virtual environment, click the power on button, make whatever changes are necessary to the virtual bios, and begin the installation of your Win98 - this is a good starting point because after you mess with it enough you'll be confident in installing other biggies like WinXP and Win2k, or even like I do with loading other linuxes in VM's - even OS/2!

One thing to remember about Windows systems, they like to reboot your computer, and that maybe whats happening here. You said the Installation copies all the files to you local hard drive and then dies? That sounds like it tried to reboot and failed. Another thing to look at is to make sure that you have allocated enough disk space for Win2k or WinXP.

Thanks for your help Jonathan, I tried install others OS, Win98/Me and Linux. No problems, all this versions was installed. But now, must start my MCSE, just because my company needs this, and study all this Windows version. And we don't have machines to install all this version.

You said the Installation copies all the files to you local hard drive and then dies? That sounds like it tried to reboot and failed. Another thing to look at is to make sure that you have allocated enough disk space for Win2k or WinXP. Usually Win2k wants at least 1.5GB, and XP wants roughly the same. -Original Message- From: Lúcio Costa de Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] VMware problem Greetings All, Just spend your time with this if you know how to fix this problem.

RE: Jonathan Shilling RE: [newbie] VMware problem
Ok, I assume that the OS you need to load is Win2k, correct? First off, from what I've read of your config, you should have no problems loading this on your machine, and if you have already loaded other OS's, then it must be something in your VMware configuration. Have you checked those settings to see if they are correct? Also, you may need to use a larger VMware drive setting, I would suggest 4GB, if you have that much available for use. Currently, I am using 6GB for my win2k load. Try using 4GB and check all of your settings in the VMware Settings Configuration Editor. Check the amount of RAM that VMware is allocating to your Win2k load as well, it may not be giving it enough memory to load/run properly. My load requires a minimum of 192MB of RAM, yours may need 128MB. -Original Message- From: Lúcio Costa de Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 2:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Att: Jonathan Shilling RE: [newbie] VMware problem Thanks for your help Jonathan, I tried install others OS, Win98/Me and Linux.

Thanks, well,. in mine, the sound kind-of plays, but it's so choppy and skippy it's for the most part useless and irritating .. between that and silence.. i'd choose silence! you guys are lucky! hehehe oh.. one thing you can do is configure the device for sound, which doesn't always come configured correctly. if you have .au sound files lying around somewhere ( you probably do, as some programs use them, just do a slocate *.au ) go to vmware configuration, check the sound settings, they are probably set to /dev/dsp check if that works by doing a cat soundfile.au /dev/dsp . the sound should play. if it doesnt, theck the /dev/ for similar names. especially something inside a subfolder.. like /dev/sound/dsp1 or something for that matter..

Re: [newbie] VMware/ LM8.2 and Win98 Guest OS
Win2k works just fine. I have no problems with it. 98, however, doesn't give me anything. I posted to VMware's forum to see if anyone there has any other ideas.
