Henry's Points

Just got a Core 2 Quad computer with 4G memory. After installing Ubuntu 7.10, the first thing is to install Vmware Server.

First, we need to setup installation enviornments

# sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

# sudo apt-get install xinetd

Then, we need to register on VMware website to get register number. After that, we can get installation package.

# sudo wget http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz

Then, we need to extract the package under the directory.

# sudo tar -vxzf VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz

Then, we go to vmware-server-distrib directory

# cd vmware-server-distrib

Then, we start to install VMware server

# sudo ./vmware-install.pl

It will automatically trigger /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. After typing 20-character serial number, we have done the installation.

For configure network, please refer the following diagram.
