Hawkins" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 11:34:30 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've managed to install vmware and get it to execute debian from its own partition, but have a few steps to go. I'm sure most of this is rtfm level, but I can't find much in the way of fm's . . . the page and freebsdzine.org helped, but I don't know enough about networking to get the rest of the way. I currently have a debian file of /etc/networks/interfaces showing: This is enough to telnet back and forth between freebsd and linux, and if I manually type in the xauth codes, I can run an X application on my freebsd display. What I need out of vmware is to be able to run an X based debugger for my linux fortran compiler--the compilers work under FreeBSD linux emulation, as does the generated code, but the debuggers fail. Ideally, I could set up a command that would ssh into the virtual linux machine, which would in some way mount my regular /home (nfs? I note that it happily mounts the live ufs filesystem, but I presume that this is a Bad Idea (tm). And it is painfully slow.
