workstationworkstation is not recognizing knoppix. it insists i install it from a cd in the cd drive or a floppy disk, and the thing is not on a cd or floppy. i downloaded it from the internet. not sure what kernel it'snot sure what kernel it's running. 2x2 or 2x4? i'm on 32bit windows, so i can't run the 2x6 also which of these do i need to download and install? this is the full list I set CD-ROM 1(IDE 1:0) toI set CD-ROM 1(IDE 1:0) to KNOPPIX_V3.3-2004-02-16-EN.iso The virtual machine I created was Linux with 'other linux'. I click the green 'power on' button and it runs ok. so should i download yourso should i download your version, just to be on the safe side ? (in case they've since removed some of the stuff your version used that may or may not have contributed to it being built?) see the problem is, because i'm just learning how to use linux, alot of these examples are unsuable to me simply because i'm unaware or unable to modify the events that stop the process from completing the configure make and runit2. so really, the best route is to specifically use what you are using. do you know if they've removed anything essential since you created your version? i noticed somewhere someone was saying that older versions of debian were more useful for certain tasks because some of the files were removed in later versions and these were specifically related to developement. it doesn't just say otherit doesn't just say other linux. it says other linux 2x2, other linux 2x4, other linux 2x4 64-bit, other linux 2x6, other linux 2x6 64-bit and other linux 64-bit. what version of workstation are you running? Im using VMWare workstationIm using VMWare workstation 4.5.1. This version doesn't have 2x2 etc. I did a google for you with 'vmware 2x2 2x4 2x6' and found this pdf: http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/819-7320-10/819-7320-10.pdf Seems to be about the number of virtual disks. 2x2 will probably do. they've stuck in me somethey've stuck me in some kind of loop. it won't open the virtual machine till i've downloaded virtual tools. it won't download virtual tools till i have a virtual machine instance running. I thought the tools cameI thought the tools came with the vmware workstation download. From memory I was able to get it to work without the virtual tools but worked better with it because when installed it allowed me to drag and drop files from my original windows pc onto the vmware window and the file was copied across. oh that's nice. well i'moh that's nice. well i'm reinstalling, this time with as close as i can get to your version. the closest was 3.6-2004. you wouldn't happen to have a copy of yours you can let me download? it keeps insisting the fileit keeps insisting the file is a RECORD NOW! file. : / it won't recognize it as a virtual machine I only have a 256k ADSL soI only have a 256k ADSL so would take forever to upload it. My upload speed is almost like dialup. okay, no problem. so how dookay, no problem. so how do i get windows to recognize the knoppix file is a virtual machine not a record now file? hrm, i might have solved thehrm, i might have solved the problem. not sure. will know in a minute. nah, it won't install itnah, it won't install it unless i copy it to a cd or floppy. very silly. i don't have a cd at the moment that i can copy it to. : / No idea sorry. Maybe try inNo idea sorry. Maybe try in google 'record now vmware'. |
nah, it won't install it
oops
