Howdy; I've been trying to install SuSE 8.1 Pro on VMware 3.2.0 Build 2230, and so far it freezes during the install. text installs: http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_txt02.jpg http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_txt01.jpg GUI install:(IDE) http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_gui01.jpg http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_gui02.jpg GUI install:(SCSI) http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_gui03.jpg http://12.241.223.121/images/nix/suse_gui04.jpg It freezes when there is no longer any green lights for the HDD or cd-rom in the lower right of VMware. I've tried SCSI 0:0 and IDE 0:0 in text mode and both times it freezes. I'm following the VMware ws32_manual and it says: ==================================== 4. Install using the text mode installer. - CHECK! 5. When prompted, do not install an X server. In the Configure Monitor screen,choose No X11. The installer asks you to confirm. Click Continue and finish the installation. ==================================== I've looked and looked and can't find X Server, or X11. Is this right at the end of the installation, or before the installation ever installs? My Comps Specs:(hosts) Win2k Server Athlon 1800+ 1024mb PC-133 Plextor 24/10/40 eVGA GF4 MX440 What would I be doing wrong? Do you need more info? I'm more than happy to give yall more info if you need it. Thank you for your time, and help!! ---- Alex Togstad Web Developer alextogstad@3dretreat.com
