I'm trying to move my office machine from freebsd-stable to freebsd-current. I have been running vmware2 on stable for quite awhile (I bought a license just as vmware2 was released). I've spent a few hours trying to get vmware2 going on my current system, but I don't seem to be able get it working. I'll probably hack at it a while longer, but I thought I'd ask if there might be any new progress that I should take advantage of. The vmware2 port seems to depend on linux_base-6.1, would there be any problem using linux_base-7.1 instead? (I guess that may also depend on the rtc port). The vmware product has moved on to version 3. Is there any progress on having a vmware3 port for freebsd? Is there anyone who could get such a thing running (at least for freebsd-current) if given small amounts of money? Fighting with this port is giving me an ulcer, and sorting out the issues is probably beyond my area of expertise. Would it be possible to run multiple instances of vmware2 or vmware3 if I am using freebsd-current as the host OS? I'd really like to switch over to freebsd-current for my daily work, and I think vmware is the last missing piece. Oh, another question. I'm using XFree86-4 (4.2, in fact) on my freebsd-current system. Would that cause any problems? Right now all the problems I'm having seem to be at the network configuration, but I haven't gotten far enough along to know if it'll work with this version of X. When installing vmware2, it asks if I wanted to use netgraph bridging. I said 'yes', as I'm sure that's what I did under stable. It then asked which interface did I want to bind that to? My ethernet card is fxp0. Should I answer that as 'fxp0', or as '/dev/fxp0'? Any answers would be appreciated, as I would really like to get over to running freebsd-current... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
