Yup, no problems at all. The kernel configuration is pretty standard, the only thing you'll want to do is make sure you have the right ethernet card set, vmware uses the pcnet32 driver IIRC. Not sure which SCSI driver it uses though (if you're using scsi). Probably the best way would be to use the livecd in the vmware session and just note what drivers / modules are loaded in there. > Of course how to install X and this stuff will also help, but the first step > is the kernel. :) For X you can either configure using the standard vga driver or go to vmware.com and download the vmware specific X driver.
