-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I recently aquired a copy of vmware workstation 4.0.5. I would like to use this for some distro experimentation because It's a lot easer then repartitioning hard disks and screwing around with bootloaders. I created a vertual machine using the operating system choice called linux in the add machine wizzard. I then went into the configuration for that vm and added the serial port to the list of hardware and left everything at it's defaults of using physical com1 etc. I tried booting both the debian sarge install cd and a copy of slackware 9.0 but I get no speach output from speakup and my transport. I tried shutting down and having my physical computer boot both cd's and they come up talking but vmware doesn't seem to want to work. I'm using win2k pro on the host system. has anyone had any experience with this software before? - -- Always borrow money from a pessimist; he doesn't expect to be paid back. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAUnXt9XVrM3ri110RAnyMAJ99QmTZYYI7rmiirdc6cAHg3gF6/wCdFKM8 gzrzFEMwGaDJp2dKzTCXf2Y= =OK+K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
