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 Turbolinux Workstation 8 in a virtual machine is to use
the standard Turbolinux distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation
using the standard distribution CD; however, installing Turbolinux Workstation 8 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.
Caution: During the Turbolinux Workstation 8 installation, do not install an X server.
To get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine, install the
VMware Tools package immediately after installing Turbolinux Workstation 8.
Installation Steps
1. Insert the Turbolinux Workstation 8 installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Turbolinux Workstation 8.
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, then press Enter to select the text mode installer.
5. When prompted, do not install an X server. In the Desktop Settings screen,
choose Text Mode Only. Click Accept and finish the installation.
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
