Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

SUSE LINUX 9.0

Support

This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:

• VMware Workstation 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2

• VMware GSX Server 3.0, 3.1

• VMware ESX Server 2.1

Virtual SMP supported

General Installation Notes

Be sure to read General Guidelines for All VMware Products on page 13 as well as this

guide to installing your specific guest operating system.

The easiest method of installing SUSE LINUX 9.0 in a virtual machine is to use the

standard SUSE LINUX distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation using

the standard distribution CD; however, installing SUSE LINUX 9.0 via the boot floppy/

network method is supported as well. If your VMware product supports it, you may

also install from a PXE server.

Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and

configured a new virtual machine.

Installation Steps

1. Insert the SUSE LINUX 9.0 installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing SUSE LINUX 9.0.

3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine until you get to

the selection screens described in the next steps.

4. Install using the text mode installer. In the first installation screen, press the F2

key, use the arrow keys to select text mode, then press Enter to select the text

mode installer.

This completes basic installation of the SUSE LINUX 9.0 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.
