ixy Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hello,I was wondering if anyone had a good link that would help a newbie (me) with getting started with VMware. I've had a look around the web but not found much. i'll keep looking meantime, but any leads are appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well,don't take this as an offence (it is not intended to) , but VMware is a pretty straightforward piece of software and it is well documented in the manual.http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/ws_pubs.htmlOr you need specific help?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmsta Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 There's also Ken Kato's site, VMWare's Back: http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/index.htmlHe has links to various utilities and gui's that help you work with vmware images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My 2 cents...Installing it using the defaults has always worked for me.Same with installing the vmware tools into a virtual machine.shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What OS are you on? If you're on Windows XP (as the host) DO NOT USE VIRTUAL BOX!!! For me it killed the USB ports and gave me a BSOD. I advise you find more info or don't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
