Hello is there something wrong with the mail archive search scripts? I always seem to get 'list unavailable' :-( Anyway - 5_1 on Dell Latitude C640. the vmware3 port installs but the paths are a little odd - isoimages, licences are looked for in /usr/lib/vmware rather than /usr/local/lib.... I installed (w2k) a guest and it is fine but I cannot get networking host-only or bridge modes as the vmnet1 interface IP isn't found which indicates it hasn't found the config file in /usr/local/ - I tried sym-linking it to /etc/vmware/config but still no good. Anyone got it working? I suspect vmware2 might work - next plan.... Tantalisingly close to working... but of course after going in circles for a couple of hours I may have missed something obvious. thanks Neil -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Neil J Long, Computing Services, University of Oxford 13 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6NN, UK Tel:+44 1865 273232 Fax:+44 1865 273275 EMail: Neil.Long@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk PGP: ID 0xE88EF71F OxCERT: oxcert@ox.ac.uk PGP: ID 0x9FF898D5

They are in mailing.freebsd and you can do full Google searching on them. Has anyone considered adding information on this to the Handbook? It's a VERY useful resource that I suspect too many people are not even aware of. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Try /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/vmware...
OK - I found a kludge - adding the entry for the vmnet1 IP to the .cfg file for the guest OS got networking going. There is a problem with the vmmon module - when vmware exits there are some VMX logged errors and then on system power off there is a kernel panic. ( I loaded aio.ko as a module - does the kernel config also need the AIO support? ) Could someone running 4.8 confirm that the vmware3 port is ok - I could buy another disk for the laptop and install 4.8 and wait for 5.2 :-) regards Neil -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Neil J Long, Computing Services, University of Oxford 13 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6NN, UK Tel:+44 1865 273232 Fax:+44 1865 273275 EMail: Neil.Long@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk PGP: ID 0xE88EF71F OxCERT: oxcert@ox.ac.uk PGP: ID 0x9FF898D5
