\title{Doyen Virtual Machine Configuration File}
\author{Jose Alfredo Perez}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
This paper containts the source code and documentation of the {\em Doyen.vmx}
file. This files containts the configuration needed to run the Doyen iso image
using the VMWare Player. This program can run virtual machines across different
operating systems. This feature should allow for a greater distribution and
showcase of the DoyenCD and the scientific software that it containts.

\section{The {\em Doyen.vmx} Configuration File}
<<Doyen.vmx>>=
#!/usr/bin/vmplayer
# This is a Workstation 5 or 5.5 config file
# It can be used with Player
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
# Selected operating system for your virtual machine
guestOS = "other26xlinux"
# displayName is your own name for the virtual machine
displayName = "Doyen"
# These fields are free text description fields
guestinfo.vmware.product.url = "http://axiom-developer.org/DoyenCD";
guestinfo.vmware.product.class = "virtual machine"
# Number of virtual CPUs. Your virtual machine will not
# work if this number is higher than the number of your physical CPUs

\subsection{Serial and Parallel Ports Configuration}
The serial ports have been disable in the virtual machine, by setting the
variables {\em serial0.present} and {\em serial1.present} to FALSE. Set this
variables to TRUE if you need serial ports support.
<<Doyen.vmx>>=
# First serial port, physical COM1 is available
serial0.present = "FALSE"
serial0.fileName = "COM1"
serial0.hardwareFlowControl = "TRUE"
# Optional second serial port, physical COM2 is not available

\subsection{Doyen ISO Image Configuration}
The variable ide1:0.fileName can be changed if necessary to boot other doyen
iso files.
