I did as you suggested a couple of weeks ago and instantly after I installed win98 on my new IDE drive, I created another H/W profile for it named "vmware" with NO fancy anything loaded, pure 640x480 VGA, etc. However, I didn't boot into "Safe Mode" to do it. Is that the reason I running into this road block in installing the VMware tools? > And also I suppose that WinNT works bit faster under VMware than > Win98, due to the nature of Win98. true enough. I just hope that after I find the magic knob to turn that it will be "usable". It certainly sounds like running full-screen and using the VMware tools successfully will help .... > Even when you are using SCSI CDROM, you should tried to install in under > vmware as IDE one. The wizard yelled at me saying that the device wasn't available on the host ... oooh, wait a minute ... I think it was asking for /dev/cdrom and I hadn't make a symlink from cd0c -> cdrom yet. I just fixed that and so maybe that was the problem. Thanks! Thanks for being patient with a VMware newbie! Your work to bring this to FreeBSD in any form has just been splendid! -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
