You say VMware? Can you describe how you got it working? Did you use the 9.1 rpm from MandrakeClub?- well, thanks to urpmi, contrib and plf pretty much everything is
setup and working well, audio, mp3, dvd playing, opengl (nvidia
drivers), games (CivCTP, quake3, RTCW, Neverwinter Nights ** those
are not available through urpmi, go buy them!), VMWare,
It didn't work for me, some indecipherable error about region and rpm signatures -- I'll try to reproduce it when I get home.
Does anyone know if we can expect a 9.2-compiled version of vmware?
Also, OT, for the person who said he'd never seen a Windows box fail to get through safe mode, I have one for you.
Last week, I ran windows update for the five latest remotely-exploitable root holes in Windows. Well, upon shutdown the machine became stuck in a permanent reboot mode -- none of the safe mode or recovery options worked except for the W2K cd, which undid many patches and broke many applications including office, acrobat and cd creator. The problem was replicated by going to windows update again :-( It sounds like a work, but the machine is given a clean bill of health by symantic virus checker (with the latest definitions) and I had kept it up to date with respect to MS patches religiously. Oh well....
A funny moment occured the other week as I was VNC-ing into my work machine from home. My wife said, "They make you run Windows at work? Are they retarded?!?!"
