The following is a summary of the key points for installing LINUX Red Hat 9 under XP and VMware Workstation 4.5.2. For Record accuracy, we deleted red hat and VMWare virtual machines installed in VMWare, reset the Virtual Machine and install red hat 9, while setting/installing, write the following content. The reason for this is that, for beginners, the omission or unclear details of a small step may lead to the pause of the entire setup/installation process.

This installation is based on the LINUX installation of VMWARE in XP, but I guess that LINUX installation in a pure PC system will not be much different. If so, we can say that the installation of red hat 9 is as simple as that of WINDOWS.

I. Key points for setting VMware Workstation 4.5.2

1. Install VMware Workstation 4.5.2 (I use the E version ). Click enter serial number under help and enter the registration code (otherwise the program cannot be used ).

2. Select New Virtual Machine in the main window. After two "Next" operations are performed, select "linux", select your own linux version from the drop-down menu below, and then click "Next ";

3. Press "browse" to select the directory where the VM is located under XP. The default directory is

C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ q \ My Documents ents \ My Virtual Machines \ Red Hat Linux

But I think it is better not to be on the C drive with XP. In addition, the disk where the Virtual Machine directory is located must have enough space, because the installed red hat 9 itself has nearly 1.8 GB. After setting the Virtual Machine directory, click "Next ".

4. Select an appropriate network connection. Click "Next ".

5. This step specifies the capacity of the virtual disk. The default value is 4 GB. After adding 6 GB, click "finish ". Virtual machines are displayed on the interface, including memory, hard disk, optical drive, soft drive, Nic, USB controller, and audio adapter. The left part of the interface is the "start this virtual machine" and "edit virtual machine setting" commands. Click the "edit virtual machine setting" command to add parts. Click "ADD" on the pop-up interface and select the part to be added. Note that if the hard disk is removed after the hard disk is added, it does not seem to be deleted from the hard disk under the XP directory. Ask experienced people for details.
