What do I do now?!?!? ;-)

The next step would be to run "vmware-wizard".  This a typical
configuration wizard that will ask you things like what the
guest OS will be (dos, win##, linux, other), what directory to
put all the files in for this particular virtual machine, whether
to enable/disable a local cdrom and floppy drive, what type of
networking to use, and how big to make the virtual hard drive
(or whether to use an existing physical drive).  The only part
that might be tricky is networking.  If you want your guest OS
to see the network as if it were a regular host, select "Bridged"
and it will setup an aliases interface on your main ethernet card.
If you want the virtual machine to see only the host machine,
select "Host only".  If you just want to play around in a non-
networked environment, select "none".  It should then start vmware
running your new setup and let you install your guest os.  After
that, you start it up with:

	vmware -x /path/to/guest_os/os.cfg

(the "-x" says to auto-power-on the vm after starting vmware)
