VMWare installs under linux as an application. Once installed you can install windows into vmware or you can tell VMWare to use a raw partition. Using the raw disk method you should (semi-guess) allow you to use your already installed OS's w/out re-installing (but you will need to install the drivers for the vm-hardware. on the client OS's) -fjr Frank Ramsay Systems Programmer Castel, Inc 14 Summer St, 3rd Floor Malden, MA 02148 (781) 324-0140 (voice) (781) 324-0277 (fax) Emal: framsay at castel.com "Jerry Feldman" To: discuss at blu.org <gaf at blu.org> cc: Sent by: Subject: RTFM VMWare question discuss-admin @blu.org 07/22/02 03:45 PM Just a quick VMWare question so I don't have to learn to read :-) Given, Linux and Windows(9x) installed. Does VMWare install under Linux, and do I need to reinstall Windows. Or do I need to install VMWare first? The question is really twofold: First, My current desktop system is now tripple booting. I'm doing a test install of SuSE8.0 just to make sure everything works. I use Windoz only to talk to ATTBI customer disservice (which is infrequent). Secondly, I may purchanse a new laptop if mine is too expensive to repair, and I would probably want to use VMWare. The reason is that I am teaching a course in C at NEU this fall, and the last time I tought it, one of my students was having trouble compiling a C program under Visual C++, which was a configuration issue, but I did not have a solution. So, if I get a new laptop, I should have enough cycles to run either VMWare or Win4Lin. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Associate Director Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at blu.org http://www.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
