Hi, You should perhaps give me more details. Just out of my memory, here are the two things I sometime forgot to check and that gave me the same problem: a) remeber vmware is a virtual pc. While booting press [F2] to get to the "Virtual BIOS" and check that booting from CD is selected. b) if /dev/cdrom does not work, try /dev/hdc or whatever your CD really is. Oh, and make sure that a box saying something like "legacy emulation" is checked, otherwise it won't boot from the CD as far as I remember. Thierry -- [email protected] mailing list
