Just go to your kernel source tree (/usr/src/linux)

Try to set extraversion tag to empty in /usr/src/linux/Makefile to make

Here's a solution: don't use VMWare at all.
Great idea.

Larry, something that while it might not help a lot, at least will
provide a reason for whats happened. Unix/Linux is a different way of
thinking to MS. It depends a lot on "knowing" where to go for

Hi!
I was reading this thread and I want to comment what happens to me.

Ok, just to weigh in on this,
While I'm very aware of what a virtual machine is what has been unclear to

Yep by default the VM

This, however, is beyond my comprehension. The only way I could stick W98
into a "boot device" is if that boot device is a CDROM. Since VMware is
booted off the hard drive where it's installed itself and configured
itself, you have lost
