Contents
Prerequisites
- Get the VMware(player) rpm package (e.g. VMware-player-1.0.1-19317.i386.rpm) from VMware
- Installation of Open SuSE 10.1
- Kernel 2.6.16-4-default
- Actual version of vmware-any-any-update. Search Google.
If you installed vmware(player) before, be shure to delete all files in /tmp:
rm -rf /tmp/vmware-*
Get kernel source
Get the kernel-source, gcc, g++ and make and check if everything installed fine:
rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make
Prepare kerneltree
According to <ref>to install VMware 5.0 workstation on SUSE Linux 10.0</ref> do the following: Go into the kernel source directory and make a configfile.
cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare make prepare_all make modules_prepare (THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR 10.1 !!)
This is necessary because otherwise vmware will NOT compile and leave you with an error message about the wrong kernel directory /usr/src/linux/includ.
Install VMware
1. Install vmware(player) rpm package. 2. Start Installation which and abort with STRG+C when asked for the kernel source directory. 3. Untar vmware-any-any-update and change to the directory and run
cd vmware-any-any-updateXXX/ perl runme.pl
No vmware(player) should compile without problems.
Configure Networking
Linux host: smb.conf
To use samba networking within your virtual machine, you have to configure the samba server via yast.
Use the following settings in the global part of /etc/samba/smb.conf:
ölaksdfölakjsdf
For a directory to share with your linux host add the following lines to your /etc/samba/smb.conf
Windows client
