Hello all

>I can't install SUSE 10.1 b5 under Vmware 
>(VmwareWorkstation-5.5.1-19175)
> Are there any work arounds?

After reading through old list emails I found a work around from
suggested by Christian Boltz
>>Try   sax2 -m 0=vesa   as workaround (found in Bug 148211) - this
>>worked  for me (IIRC only after a "init 6")

See screen shot at

SaX2 started up with the following message
"Software Installation
Some packages are missing. Install the missing packages now"
See screen shot at
"http://perso.wanadoo.fr/home/jpearson/SUSE-b5.4.png";


This time Sax2 let me set up the video card hardware. 
Configuration shots are available at
"http://perso.wanadoo.fr/home/jpearson/SUSE-b5.5.png"; and 
"http://perso.wanadoo.fr/home/jpearson/SUSE-b5.6.png";


Note : Despite the fact that I answered yes (to installing missing
packages) sax2 repeats the above question each time I re run it.

All coments welcome.

Regards 
James
