Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

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

monitor setup screen. Choose Super VGA, 800x600 @ 56 Hz.

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

This completes basic installation of the Mandrake Linux 8.0 or 8.1 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 8.0 or 8.1 guest, you should install VMware Tools from

the Linux console. Do not start X until you have installed VMware Tools and set up a

symbolic link to the XFree86 configuration file.

Setting Up a Symbolic Link to XFree86

Be sure you are logged on as root (su -), then take the following steps to set up a

symbolic link to the correct XFree86 configuration file.

cd /etc

ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config.vm XF86Config

Use the startx command to start your X server.

Enabling Sound After Installing Mandrake Linux 8.0 or 8.1

VMware GSX Server: The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled

with the virtual machine control panel (VM > Settings) after the operating system has

been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in

the GSX Server documentation.

Known Issues

Installation of Mandrake Linux 8.0 Hangs

Installation of Mandrake Linux 8.0 sometimes hangs at running /sbin/loader

for no apparent reason. The hang is caused by a bug in early versions of the 2.4 Linux

kernel. The bug has been fixed in kernel 2.4.5. Distributions based on this kernel

should install without problems.

For earlier 2.4-series kernels, a workaround is available. Although the Linux kernel bug

is not related to CD-ROM drives, the workaround involves changing a configuration

setting for the virtual DVD/CD-ROM drive.
