Re: does new vmware workstation beta 3.2 work with (null)?

Works just fine for me using a Windows 2000 VM. The only problem is the
known issue with power down, which Red Hat and the VMware guys are
looking into.

I'll try out a Win98 image when I get the chance.

Cheers,

Chris

    Running 3.2 beta on null seems to work fine. Just started with it
    yesterday. I had to edit the module sources to change the include
    of malloc.h to slab.h in order to be able to create new modules.
    
    I tried it with windows 98 aqs guiest os. Installation and initial
    startup worked fine. However when I changed the resolution from
    640x480 to 800x600 or 1024x768 some strange thing happened. I do not
    see any text anymore in the windows. Don't know if this is
    cased by windows or vmware though. Actually I started with 
    vmware 3.0 getting this problem. Upgrading to 3.1 and 3.2 did
    not fix this.
    
    I also noticed that when the guest os is running the total
    CPU load on the system gets to 100%. Is this normal?
