In-Reply-To: <3A1D6AE4.EC7C277A@wiliweld.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I can get it running, but not well. It runs and boot windows 98 inside of it. I even got freebsd to boot inside of it. But I can't get full screen mode or networking to work. Also it's so slooooooooow. Windows also doesn't like the video card that vmware emulates, because I can only get 640x480. It also doesn't see my cd drive even though booting into windows for real the cd drive is fine. Vmware doesn't support freebsd so they aren't too much help but try the documentation at their site www.vmware.com/support/ Did you get the port to install? After that make sure to mount linprocfs. Do you get it to run?
