Well, this is frustrating in the exteme, but although it worked once, I can't get it to work any more. One thing I noticed is that the network reverted from 192.168.0.1 the *second* time but not the first, but I've tried reconfiguring my guest to talk to that network without luck. I'm hoping that somebody has some ideas . . . I've beat myhead against it for a few days before appealing to you folks again, but I'm befuddled again. I've even re-done the deinstall/reinstall, but that didn't fix anything. I can go back to the complex firewall-like solution, but I was having trouble with that one, too . . . and that one time I rebooted & installed it all just worked so easily. I just wish I recapture that victory. A couple new questions, though, while I'm at it (both minor): 1. Is there any way to get the RTC device turned off by default? If it's on, vmware eats up all available CPU but I don't see a way to keep it off-by-default. 2. Is there a way to get rid of the annoying requester claiming that /dev/psm0 can't be opened and thus full-screen mode will fail? In actual point of fact, full-screen mode works just peachy (for graphics; I read the warnings about text mode and haven't even tried that).
