I'm working at my Gentoo box and the beginning of the job was already done at VMWare. I used Gentoo boot cd 1.4 and it detected the network drive as pcnet32 like Alan tells u already. Also detected my soundcard, the only thing is that my soundcard is a es1370 but has auto detected like es1371. I did'nt tested if sound works, but if had loaded I guess so. You don't need to download vmnware driver for X since this is disponible at Kernel 2.6.1 (the one I'm using)... So I only can work in vmware just before bootstrap stage, ... I get anything like 3 to 5 crashes when trying to compile gcc and other stuffs of bootstrap. I was using the true partitions of my disk instead of use a virtual disk, so I really don't know if the crashes are because of Windows 2000 are installed in the same disk (another partitions curse), or by any other problem, so I finished this process with Gentoo CD and Knoppix with chroot. In other hand, I used to install Win98 and Windows 2000 into VMWare on Linux but in this one I used virtual disk, and this work very fine, including graphics and sound
Well, that's it.
