Guest Operating System Installation Guide

8. You are offered a choice of 2 XFree86 X servers to install. Choose XFree 4.2.0. This

driver recognizes the VMware SVGA driver.

9. Near the end of the installation, after files have been copied, you reach the

monitor setup screen. Choose the resolution and refresh rate you want your

guest to use.

10. When the installer asks if you want to test the configuration, answer No.

11. When the installer asks if you want to install system updates, answer No.

12. When the installer asks whether to start X when you reboot, answer No.

This completes basic installation of the Mandrake Linux 8.2 guest operating system.

VMware Tools

Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the

manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base

article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.

Note: With a Mandrake Linux 8.2 guest, you should install VMware Tools from the

Linux console. Do not start X until you have installed VMware Tools.

Note: Provided you installed the XFree 4.2.0 X server when you installed the guest

operating system (as advised in the install steps), when you start the VMware Tools

installation script (by typing ./vmware-install.pl in the vmware-tools-

distrib directory), the following message appears:

Found an installed version of the VMware SVGA driver for

XFree86 4. Some versions of this driver included with the

XFree86 4 distributions do not work properly. Would you

like to install a stable (but possibly older) version of

the driver over the currently installed one?

If you plan to dual-boot the virtual machine, answer Yes to allow the driver to be

installed. Answer Yes again to back up the existing video driver files and also copy the

XF86Config-4.dist file to XF86Config-4.vm. The latter file is used when

dual-booting the virtual machine.

If you do not intend to dual-boot the virtual machine, answer No to keep the existing

driver.

Note: As you are installing and configuring VMware Tools, the configuration

program asks for the location of lspci. When that prompt appears, enter the

following path:

/usr/bin/lspcidrake

1 2 ... 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 ... 147 148
