6. When you reach the Summary screen, configure the graphical interface and the
boot loader.
7. On the Graphical Interface line, click Configure to launch a wizard. In the wizard,
make the following selections:
• The resolution and refresh rate you want your guest to use
• VMware virtual video card
• XFree 4.3
• No when asked if you want to test the configuration
• No when asked if you want to start X when you reboot
8. When the installer asks if you want to install updates to the packages, answer No.
This completes basic installation of the Mandrake Linux 9.2 guest operating system.
VMware Tools
Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the
manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base
article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.
Note: With a Mandrake Linux 9.2 guest, you should install VMware Tools from the
Linux console. Do not start X until you have installed VMware Tools.
Note: Provided you installed the XFree 4.3 X server when you installed the guest
operating system (as advised in the install steps), when you start the VMware Tools
installation script (by typing ./vmware-install.pl in the vmware-tools-
distrib directory), the following message appears:
Found an installed version of the VMware SVGA driver for
XFree86 4. Some versions of this driver included with the
XFree86 4 distributions do not work properly. Would you
like to install a stable (but possibly older) version of
the driver over the currently installed one?
If you plan to dual-boot the virtual machine, answer Yes to allow the driver to be
installed. Answer Yes again to back up the existing video driver files and also copy the
XF86Config-4.dist file to XF86Config-4.vm. The latter file is used when
dual-booting the virtual machine.
If you do not intend to dual-boot the virtual machine, answer No to keep the existing
driver.
