windows to keep resources separate for when you boot win98 straight or

I HAD good experiences with VMware under Debian.
It worked fine for me last summer, but somehow somewhere something messed up.
At the moment, vmware causes my system to lock up. It brings up the gui and
the wizard just fine; however, just before it brings up the guest Bios, my
system freezes.

You can get the driver at ftp://ftp.crynwr.com/drivers/amdpd.zip
Unarchive it and install pcntpk.com on your vmware dos system.
It is run by invoking:
pcntpk int=0x60 (should be in the range 0x60 to 0x80).
It will respond with a message like:

Vmware doesn't include the operating system. You need to install from a
MS Win95 cd-rom or floppies. If one has Win95 already installed on
their hard drive, it is possible to use that with the "raw disk" option,
but I have had problems running it that way. There are instructions for
all of this

I just install it with the install.pl script. It complains about the
module versions and then creates new ones. I didn't have to do anything
special, as I recall. I just upgraded last week and it also went
smoothly, with the new modules being created by the script. I am
running it on potato.

My bad. the install.pl, IIRC, suggests unpacking vmnet-only.tar and/or
vmmon-only.tar and making the modules by hand if it can't autobuild them.
You'll get vmnet-only/Makefile and vmmon-only/Makefile. Again, IIRC. My
vmware box is currently in M$ mode so I can play a game. :>
On Mon, 28 Jun 1999,
I just looked in vmware-distrib and there ISN'T any Makefile (?). It
looks like install.pl handles it (somehow, it's beyond my grasp of
perl).

The problem is that the kernel headers in /usr/lib/linux
Howdy:
You are running Kernel v2.2.5, right?
Did you install VMWare before or after you installed 2.2.5?
I've got the same problem on a different scale, but VMWare installs and runs...
Does
yours install at all?
Go a head and tell it to install VMWare onto your computer.

the vmware install script only creates links for runlevels 3, 5 and 6, there
needs to be a link in /etc/rc2.d/ too (2 is the default runlevel for Debian)
cp -a /etc/rc5.d/S99vmware /etc/rc2.d/

It's a matter of speed.
I've installed Win95 over VMware on my AMD K6 200Mhz with 32 MB
