I don't have a link right this second, but do a search for the anyany patch for vmware. This should get it installed on your system. You'll need net-tools and a copy of the kernel that is displayed by 'uname -r'...though I've actually had better results for a couple of old windows games using QEMU with the kqemu kernel module. OEMU is not without it's problems however. You will have to use gcc-3.3/4 to build it, two source patches, it's CLI only (there are some GUIs available), and the video is limited to 8MB (This really doesn't matter much in emu software anyway). The binary installation is broken with the current version. I also have a current binary with the sdl-mouse patch if interested. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
