VMWare is not a toy I use these days to be honest. As far as I am aware, Yoper does not work with VMWare - at least not the Blacksand versions. There was a hacked kernel for the older 2.1 to run with VMWare - I think VMWare has specific requirements in a kernel if I recall correctly. Perhas one of the others may run VMWare and can offer some ideas? Otherwise, I can look around for the VMWare requirements - it should be possible to include the hacks needed. As an additional comment - Blacksand does not seem to run under Qemu either. The first release of the testing version ran - hence my screenshots of it in Qemu - but I have not been able to reproduce the install with any of the later versions for some reason. Not sure why - I did spend several days fiddling about for no result :( I would suggest an install to hard drive is the best way to test currently. Anyone recall who hacked the old Yoper system for VMWare? I think it is mentioned in the forum - I will check later. > > Also, just curious as to why noone is in the #Yoper channel on > > FreeNode.

I saw Chaks had issues getting in yesterday - so maybe there was a problem with irc in general? I rarely use it myself now.
