I have a new XP machine, which is a Toshiba A4. While installing Debian in a VMWare machine, I discovered that if you use the vmware-tools, everything operated corectly. - Sweeeet. 1. Create a new partition 2. Install a base Debian system 3. Apt-get the kernel + headers you actually want 4. Create a symlink from /usr/src/linux to your real headers. (This will probbaly shoot me in the foot when I load up the kernel sources for a kernel re-compile) 5. Fix the lilo issues. *** REMEMBER TO RUN LILO BEFORE YOU REBOOT, 6. reboot 7. reboot with a rescue disk and run lilo... 8. Apt-get dist-upgrade 9. In VMWare, click on VM -> Install VMWare Tools... 10. mount /mnt/cdrom 11. Extract /mnt/cdrom/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz somewhere. 12. execute ./vmware-install.pl in the directory you extracted the tar archive to. 13. Follow the bouncing ball. 14. Update the mouse in /etc/X11/XF86Config to be /dev/psaux, not /dev/mouse. 15. Ensure that you have pcnet32 loaded to elloy network access under vmware. then X should start up. |
