The eval version is the same as a full version, with a time restriction. Go to the VMWare website, and read the Installation and Configuration notes, specifically for a RAW DISK installation. What you are trying to do is probably the most trickiest install. Try reading this: http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/hardwareprofiles.html As for the 16 colors, VMWare uses the same resolution and color depth as your xfree86 settings. BUT it will only do 16 colors until you install VMTools on your guest OS (win98). Read the docs on how to do this, but it is relatively simple. If you continue to have problems with your raw disk install, just try a new virtual disk install to see how everything works. http://www.vmware.com Ron --- Lawrence Sayre <lsayre@stratos.net> wrote:

I'm running the 30 day trial download of VMware 2.02, and I can't get it to see my IDE CD-ROM drive, or my Win98 d: and e: drives. All it sees is the Win98 c: drive. Also, it only displays 16 colors in Win98, and it doesn't see my modem.

Is the 30 day trial demo crippleware, or am I doing something wrong here? I'm having VMware access an lready installed Win98 on a separate partition, rather than Win98 installed from within VMware.
