Guest Operating System Installation Guide
Turbolinux 7.0
Support
This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:
• VMware Workstation 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.5, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2
• VMware GSX Server 3.0, 3.1
• VMware VirtualCenter 1.1
General Installation Notes
Be sure to read General Guidelines for All VMware Products on page 13 as well as this
guide to installing your specific guest operating system.
The easiest method of installing Turbolinux 7.0 in a virtual machine is to use the
standard Turbolinux 7.0 distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation
using the standard distribution CD; however, installing Turbolinux 7.0 via the boot
floppy/network method is supported as well. If your VMware product supports it, you
may also install from a PXE server.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and
configured a new virtual machine.
Note: During the Turbolinux 7.0 installation, a standard VGA16 X server (without
support for the VMware display adapter) is installed. To get an accelerated SVGA X
server running inside the virtual machine, install the VMware Tools package
immediately after installing Turbolinux 7.0, before you start the X server.
Installation Steps
1. Insert the Turbolinux 7.0 CD No. 1 in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Turbolinux 7.0.
3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical PC until you get to the
selection screen described in the next step.
4. In the Configure Monitor screen, follow the defaults to configure an X server. This
is necessary even though you will install a different X server with VMware Tools
after you finish installing the guest operating system.
5. Finish installing Turbolinux 7.0 as you would on a physical computer.
At this point Turbolinux 7.0 boots and a login screen appears.
