actually i did some changes to it... i replaced the dosemu components to all ms-dos components.
i have booted to msdos somehow, have a network connection, and now i just want to kick off XP install on VMWare. I was able to install Win2K Pro on VMWare 4.5 on a Win2k Pro machine, but with XP Pro and VMWare 5.0, XP Pro install loops, Win2K install hangs! Looks like VMware cannot be reliably used to test unattended install anymore... fooboo --- Allan Stones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > im suprised you managed to get even that far! > running dosemu under > vmware here makes the virtual machien ground to a > halt > > b s wrote: > > Hi, > > I have been trying to install XPPro on a VMWare > 5.0 > > instance. > > It just loops endlessly.
