That did the trick, Now to only get a license that works. I have one for a 30 day trial for 3.0 but it does not work. I used to use VM until I found win4lin because VM was too hungry, and ran so slow, I'm hoping with FreeBSD it will run better since there is no win4lin(bsd) avail. But hate to spend $299 to find out it is too slow and won't run my app. Mike On Wednesday 20 March 2002 18:42, you wrote: > > Upon installing vmware 2 from teh ports, everything seemed to go fine > > however when I try > > to run it as a user I get a complaint about linux > > > procfs not mounted, when I use > > /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware it > > > starts but gives me errors about not being able > > to execute the vmware > > > workstation executable file, and module 10 initialization > > succeeded.. > > > Starts anyway, but I'm unable to load a guest OS as when trying to hit > > power > > on I get could not open /proc/cpuinfo. > > > I tried but did not have a linproc port in teh > > ports collection.
