Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

Mandrake Linux 8.2

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 Mandrake Linux 8.2 in a virtual machine is to use the

standard Mandrake Linux distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation

using the standard distribution CD; however, installing Mandrake Linux 8.2 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 Mandrake Linux 8.2 installation, you are offered a choice of XFree86

X servers. You may choose either one, but do not run that X server. Instead, to get an

accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine, you should install the

VMware Tools package immediately after installing Mandrake Linux 8.2.

Installation Steps

1. Insert the Mandrake Linux 8.2 CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Mandrake Linux 8.2.

3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine. Be sure to

make the choices outlined in the following steps.

4. Use the Expert installer.

5. In the partitioning step, unless you have special requirements, it is all right to let

Mandrake Linux auto-allocate the space.

6. When selecting a boot loader, use LILO with text menu. Do not use the

graphical version of LILO. It causes the virtual machine to hang.

7. Do not create a custom boot disk when prompted.
