How do I use vmware?

How can I use vmware-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information? The following is a detailed description. Vmware is a good thing and has a lot of usage. For individuals, the most common use of vmware is probably system testing and network testing. However, there are some alternative usage, for example, when I use vmware:

1. Installation of the system to the physical hard disk without optical Software
It is estimated that many people have encountered this situation. It is easy to use vmware to install linux to a physical hard disk. Of course, you can install linux without using vmware, which is even more convenient and faster, however, vmware is still needed in some cases. For example, Mac OS x x86 cannot be installed on hard disks. For example, if I am a poor user who does not have a DVD recorder, I have to use vmware to install it and enjoy the pleasure of Mac OS X.

2. Access lvm2 + reiserfs in windows
In windows, there are tools for lvm2 access and reiserfs access, but they are not tools for lvm2 + reiserfs access. Unfortunately, this combination is used. What should I do? Vmware! In windows, use vmware to minimize the installation of a linux system, such as debian, and install lvm2 and reiserfs-related tools. After the virtual linux installation is complete, stop the Virtual Machine and add a hard disk to the virtual machine. Select physical hard disk and select host-only for network connection, so that the traffic pressure will not be applied to the physical network. Restart virtual linux, mount the lv on the physical hard disk, and configure samba to be shared with windows.

3. Write ntfs partitions in linux
Now I can use ntfs-3g almost perfect to read and write ntfs partition data, but ntfs Read and Write Once is my headache, at that time my solution is the same as above, that is, in linux using vmware to install windows 2000, attach a physical hard disk to a VM and share the ntfs partition to linux.

4. accessing the Internet through the curve
This situation is probably rare. Few people will encounter it. This is related to the bt ISP. the isp I use uses non-standard PPPOE, so that I can only use the client they provide to log on to the network, but there is no client for linux. I had to make the best effort to install windows with vmware in linux. I chose the Bridged mode for network connection. in windows, I used the ISP client to log on to the network and share it with linux.

The tool is used to solve the problem. This article provides only a solution to the problem. In many cases, there are solutions to many problems, all you need to do is to use your tools flexibly.
