Hi, The inital install must be done as root. But VMWare itself doesn't have to be run as root. Q On Thu 16 Aug 01 15:45, Bruce Marshall wrote:

Active ? This smacks of DOS. You use the mount command to access a partition Or am I misunderstanding ? Cliff
Hi Do You have x-window running? In X-window, open a command-line window by pressing ALT-F2, then write "vmware". That should start vmware in a new window. Jaska. Viestissä Torstai 16. Elokuuta 2001 16:16, Jack Malone kirjoitti:

This error message is a clear indication that this list needs a FAQ! Preferably one that people would read. The error means that you're running the application as a user other than the one who started X. regards Anders On Thursday 16 August 2001 15:16, Jack Malone wrote:
