To install a system under vmware you first to create a new vm, supply a few parameters and then install a guest operating system. This will be what was done to install kbuntu under vmware. In order to run a QL under vmware, you could either: Install wine on kbuntu and run QPC under wine. This should work as I run my QPC under wine on OpenSuse 11.2 and it works fine - except for floppy disc access, but as my new laptop has no such thing as a floppy, I'm not actually bothered. The other option is to create a vm, install Windows onto it as a guest OS, and then run any of the QL Emulators within the guest Windows OS. I personally use Oracle's VirtualBox (not the OSE edition by the way) to run an Xp emulation from time to time. QXL works perfectly under that as well. I don't, however, run vmware so I'm unable to help much I'm afraid. One question though, the machine you have that is running vmware with a guest install of kbuntu, what is the OS for the host? Is it Windows or Linux of some different flavour? The host OS is the one running vmware, the guest is the one running under control of vmware.
