In my own case, running VMWare with SuSE 6.3 on K6-300 with 128 Megs of RAM, I find that VMWare is quite acceptable with NT4 as the guest OS. Stable and not too slow. Win95, on the other hand, boots but is otherwise too slow to be usable.
The original poster didn't mention what guest OS he was using with his K-6, but if it was 9x, he'd be much better off dumping it in favor of NT, at least if he wants to keep using VMWare with his current processor.
Win9x does work fine on VMWare on Linux with a K6-2/300. I've done this myself on my laptop and Windows 98. You *must* install the vmware-tools, and you *must* configure the kernel correctly. Enhanced Realtime Clock is the main one that must be enabled or Win9x will be very slow. I think there's something else, but I can never remember it, probably because I tend to have it enabled anyway. The other necessary stuff (can't remember right now) is, IIRC given on VMWare's support section. -- Rachel -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
