Installing Debian, XP and… Windows Vista in Vmware
In the first part of this article (Vmware Server Console - Introduction to Virtualization) learned how to set up Vmware for a LiveCD system. Now I’m going to show you how to install Debian, Windows XP and… Windows Vista under Vmware.
A Bit Tougher - Linux Installation
Having the Live system launched (see first part of the article Vmware Server Console - Introduction to Virtualization), one might be tempted to install a typical Linux distro like Debian, for that matter. So this time we will use Debian’s “Network Install” version (Netinst) and its ISO image.
We begin as usual, in the same way we went through Live installation, but this time we define the type of the system as “Other Linux 2.6.x kernel”. We will also choose the “Use physical disk” option instead of virtual disk. Why?
A Bit Diskier - namely “why?”
The disk selection window offers three possibilities: we can create a new virtual disk (like in Live example), we can use an existing disk, or we can make use of a physical device (e.g. disk).
