Just today I had to wipe out an installation I had done of Fedora Core 4 on VMWare 5. I have never been able to get Fedora properly installed on a VMware machine except for one instance. The installation on my laptop works just fine. Otherwise the installations on other machine tend to break down. Foremost problems I have are kernal panic errors. If it does manage to load it is abnormaly slow to the point it is unusable. All installations were on various Windows OSes. Just today when I tried to load the VM machine it sucked up all my CPU for a long time. When I eventually looked at the screen it had just displayed the interactive service menu option. I do have VMWare running on Suse and am considering installing Fedora this weekend there to just see what happens, although I do not believe there should be much of a difference between the Linux version and the Windows. Strange thing Fedora having problems on VMware. I use VM for installing and running a multitude of different OSes, from Solaris to NT 4. Never once have I ever encountered a serious problem with an OS. The most common problem I have is if I have the hard drive as a SCSI, a lot of Linux distribs tend to not like that, so I use the IDE drive option. If you do find a tip or tweak we can use please let us know, I would really like to get Fedora going on this one certain pc. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Schumacher <wnpauls2 at yahoo.com> To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 17:37:28 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [tclug-list] vmware question > Has anyone used vmware workstation 5 (windows version) > with Fedora Core 4? > > Any comments, opinions, help, etc will be appreciated. > > thanks, > > Paul > > > > __________________________________ > Yahoo!
