Install Linux host - need to install some 1st time help

I am trying to install "Server 2.0.1" on a Linux host (Kubuntu 9.04 'Wild'). I have reviewed the user guide and install the docs, but need jump start information so I can go.

1. after installation of VMware server, install the Windows XP operating system together?

(a) install the Windows XP operating system using a virtual machine console

-OR-

boot from the Windows CD and do a bunch fresh duel b) install along side Linux?

-OR-

(c) is it better to have Linux and Windows OS is installed before installing VMware Server?

I probably have more questions, but I will stop here until I get some advice on how to proceed.

Thank you!

You can do everything above - normally, I would say to do a clean hd and partition it if you have what you need for the two operating systems - or use a tool such as Partition Magic to calve until you already have (if you do not want to go back to a clean slate).

The benefits are that each OS can see the equipment (and use) it's own - so multimedia will be better - but you have to devote resources in advance.

You can have Linux and XP installed with the server at a time, running the opposing OS... which is a bit random!

  • Install vmware tools on the linux host offline

    Hello world

    I run a Fedora 10 VM using vmware player 3.1.2 on a crowd of Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install vmware tools, but my host doesn't have access to the internet.  I've seen a few posts on how to install vmware tools offline on a windows host (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/245195), but the advice given may not be valid for linux hosts.  I downloaded vmware-tools-linux - 8.4.4 - 301548.x86_64.component.tar of http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ but this tar file contains a .component file (not an .iso that post said).  My question is what I should do with the .component file to install vmware tools?

    Thanks in advance,

    -Jordaan

    Hi Jordaan,

    Try the following:

  • Vista Ultimate SP1 Pro: repeated failures to install SP2 and several failures repeat to install some other upgrades second request for help)

    Hello

    I'm a professional software developer, and in the last five days I have tried in vain to upgrade my Vista Ultimate Pro (purchased in the United States two years ago) SP1 to SP2 and make that the machine is in use.

    I would like professional assistance with this question and the advice to do a "clean" installation and annihilate the four days of settings and configuration of programs and software development tools is not a satisfactory answer: I want to know why I can't do an "upgrade" install: why 'upgrade install' disabled when I launch setup.exe from the original DVD / install install Vista?

    1 SP2 will not install (from Windows Update or the downloaded standalone installer from MS) (see my previous post here):

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/d499b50d-8f67-460f-ACF3-df2ff12ecec7

    for details and for a response of S. Bodin who gave no useful tips).

    2 56! other updates appear repeatedly as needing to be installed, and then they re - install whenever I have closed the computer, and, when I re - starts, they appear as being initialized, or whatever, once again.

    3 IE8 is already installed, .NET FrameWork 3.5 + is already installed (as part of the VS 2010 beta install), but they appear in the queue of facility among the 56 other updates.

    I can honestly say I've lost a lot of time and money dealing with the problems of Vista: it's one of the reasons I have not used for more than a year: I had hoped at the time of SP2, it would be stable enough to use.

    I had all my software, including my "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium" removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a computer technician after inadvertently installing some malware.

    Now, I can't reinstall my CS4 Installer software wants to identify the product where I'm upgrading, but mine is not on the list. The old product, from which I'm upgrading is called "Adobe Design Collection". In addition, he has 4 serial numbers (one for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat), not one, as the installation program requires.

    I know it's possible, as I've had for a long period of work. I'm doing something wrong now?

    Contact technical support be web chat and have them generate a temporary series of work / challenge code for installation.
