What version of VMware did you both install ? So was I. I could only get the vmware2 port to build on 4.1.1 I don't remember the details, but I just sort of picked through some stuff in the config wizard to see if I could get it working. I have a Win98 partition on my hard drive and I was able to use that and boot it. I learned after a heads up from Chip that a lot of my problems were from vmware tools not being installed. As I have it currently I don't want to install them because I think it will mess up my real win98 installation. So maybe I'll wipe the win98 partition, give that space to freebsd and see how it goes. Anyway as for the linux specific stuff I was hoping somebody could say exactly what was needed to get it working just right. Bill, I can run through the configuration wizard another time and tell you what I did so far if you think it will help.
