VMWare: Operating system: How to install TurboLinux v8 on VMWare
v4.0.5 for Windows workstation?
1. -Possibly download the TurboLinux CD
See:
http://www.turbolinux.com
and
http://www.turbolinux.com/support/download/
to download a trial version of the TurboLinux v8 server.
2. For the installation in VMWare you do not have
to immediately burn this downloaded file on a CD, that you can do
later. This because you use this downloaded files (which are so
called .iso images) to install.
3. -In VMWare create a new virtual machine
(menu 'File'->'New'->'Virtual machine)
4. -select from list 'Linux'
5. -Choose a representative name
(e.g. 'Linux Turbo v8 server - English')
6. -Accept further the defaults
7. -I reduced the memory to 64 megabyte
(to avoid e.g. a slow Microsoft Windows XP
machine, when using 256 megabyte of RAM)
8. -Inform that you are going to install from iso image
1. -select in VMWare the menu option 'Edit'
2. -select from list 'Removable devices'
3. -select from list 'CD Rom'
4. -select tab 'CD-ROM device'
5. -enable radio button 'Use ISO image'
6. -click button 'Browse'
7. -browse to the directory of your iso file:
slackware-9.0-install.iso
8. -click button 'Open'
9. -click button 'OK'
9. -Start VMWare Linux TurboLinux
10. -Press <ENTER> to start the installation
11. -Choose the language (English)
12. -Standard install
13. -Click button 'Next'
14. -Click button 'Initialize'
15. -Generic keyboard
16. -Automatic partitioning
17. -Select network settings
18. -Choose generic for monitor
19. -Choose e.g. 1024 x 768
20. -Installation proceeds
21. -Finished
22. -All together a very smooth installation,
very nice screens in between, very
professional looking, very easy to
install.

Note:
There seems to be an issue with the fonts.
They do show only when you move your mouse cursor
over the text. Otherwise it shows only black or
white background.
