Not that this helps on VMware, but opensuse has Virtualbox, that I installed Windows XP on. Works nice BTW.

Have you got USB on your Virtualbox installed on 10.3? I had USB on 10.2 but since I've upgraded I have no USB. Did you have to do some "magic" if so please share. Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, might give VirtualBox a go, sounds like an option. But, just as a note, in VMWare, I had USB support in 10.2, but can't seem to get that going in 10.3 either..... Thanks, John.

The version of VirtualBox provided by openSUSE 10.3 is VistualBox OSE (Open Source Edition), without support for USB. This is implemented only by the closed-source, commercial version of VirtualBox.

Hi, after installing 10.3 (another story!) I tried to run VMWare server 1.0.3 and it didn't work. Downloaded the latest (1.0.4-56528) and installed and all seemed to be working OK. After running for a while, the virtual disk corrupted (XP - no snapshot :-( ). Have since reinstalled, and it seems very unstable - breaks KDE (no mouse/keyboard input) and corrupts the virtual disk. Anybody else experienced this, and if so, any ideas? Thanks.

mods=modifications ?.

None at all. I just installed it as usual.

You must have hardware virtualization "vmx" in your processor? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Not for VMware. VMware provides a fully emulated hardware environment in which to install non-modified guest operating systems. There are no modifications required to VMware, Windows XP, or openSUSE 10.3 [1] in order to have Windows XP as a guest OS.

You're possibly confusing the hardware virtualisation flags with Xen and hardware assisted virtualisation for non-modified operating systems...

[1] Installing and configuring VMware will compile some kernel modules such as vmmon and vmnet that the vmware daemon will load into the running kernel of the host OS

No, works greatly here. I am currently making a stripped down XP CDrom with nlite from step to step. VMware server is continously loading and installing any iso that I produce for testing, where any "XP virtual harddisk" is indefinitley often reformatted and stressed.

Runs very stable all day long for two days and nights.

Well, I guess the only difference (which I forgot to mention before :-( ) is that I am running 10.3 64bit..... John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
