VMware

[Chris Barnes <chris w2s net>]

Hi,

Thanks to whoever recommended VMware (I think it was Mike, but the original 
message has got lost in my inbox, sorry!).

I've downloaded the beta (2.0.3) of VMware, and I've installed Win98 under 
it. It works (a bit slowly, but that's most probably due to my 
partitionless install - I'm hoping to get a new hard disk for Linux and 
reinstall it on its own partition soon). But it gives me a few 
error/warning messages: firstly, it complains about DGA not being supported 
and therefore accelerated mode cannot run (and I can't work out how to 
enable it, so please help!), and more seriously, that the kernel version I 
use (I'm not running Linux at the moment so I can't get the version number, 
but it's whatever comes with RH7) will make data CD-ROMs appear as audio 
CDs under Win9x guest OSes, and unreadable under WinNT/2000. Has anyone 
else come across this problem, and is there any way of avoiding it besides 
waiting for the stable release of the 2.4 kernel?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
