Free linux on windows vmware software for linux

So far, we have successfully ported a customized uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) kernel to the iPod, and written a simple user interface for it dubbed podzilla. Many additional Applications have been written, adding many capabilities not found in Apples firmware.

Our bootloader allows for you to choose between either iPodLinux or Apples firmware each time you turn on your iPod. iPodLinux is currently safe to install on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPods.

We are currently accepting Donations towards the purchase of a fourth generation iPod for us to test with. The fourth generation click wheel, mini, U2, Photo, and Shuffle iPods are NOT currently supported. For the latest information on 4th gen development, read the Fourth Generation Project Status.

SlaBuntuVMware is a useful installation suite for installing VMware Server on Slackware or Ubuntu.

The project automatically downloads packages from the VMware site.

Tested on Slackware 11. (Slackware 10.2 might not work - try)
Tested on Ubuntu Desktop Dapper Drake and Ubuntu Desktop Edgy.

IMPORTANT: this suite does not include the vmware server packs,
they are downloaded from the official VMware site.
You also need a server key for activating the product that you must
get (for free) from the VMware web-site (http://www.vmware.com/server/)

INSTALLATION (Slackware Linux) :

a) 1- The perfect setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
Slackware 11 (When you install the OS leave a big partion for your
virtual machines).

Using a good server with an hardware raid controller:

Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/sda1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/sda2 / 10Gb
/dev/sda3 /home 2Gb
/dev/sda4 /vm (160 Gb the rest for your virtual machines)

You must do a normal install with X support but no KDE.


2- Dropline Gnome (http://www.droplinegnome.net)
It is suggested you run gnome on Slackware 11. Gnome is not
included in the distro cds, therefore you must download
Dropline Gnome.

3- Kernel 2.6.x (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)
(Default Kernel 2.4.33.3 works perfectly though)

CAUTION: take a look on www.vmware.com for the
supported kernel 2.6 versions.

OR

- If you have problems building 2.6.x vmware kernel module, just use
the normal 2.4.33.3 kernel supplied with your slackware, or try the test26.s
or huge26.s supplied with your slackware cds.

b) - The base setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
1- Slackware 11
2- Kde(not tested can have problems with some libraries)
(if you do not want to Download and install Dropline Gnome)
3- Kernel 2.4.33 (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)

Using a normal pc with no raid controller (so you should use linux
raid software):

Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/md1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/md2 / 10Gb
/dev/md3 /home 2Gb
/dev/md4 /vm (100 Gb? the rest for your virtual machines)

If you do not want to use Gnome or Kde go at the end of this file.

2) After making sure you have everything (including the kernel sources
inside /usr/src/linux) you can run:

3) as root ./setup.sh

4) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)

4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)

6) under an X session: Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!

INSTALLATION (Ubuntu Desktop, Alternate,NOT Server):

1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all the lines starting with deb

2) open a terminal (xterm) and type "sudo ./setup.sh"

3) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)

4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)

5) Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!

INSTALLATION ON UBUNTU SERVER

- Not tried yet, but you should at first download and install X11 and gnome
and then follow the steps provided for Ubuntu Desktop above.

IMPORTANT INFO:

- Remember that vmware server packs are downloaded from the official vmware
site and are property of the VMware Company: http://www.vmware.com/

- Remember that in order to use VMware you should accept the terms of the
VMware license that will be displayed during the installation process.

- Remember that in order to installa VMware you should ask the VMware
fellows for a key. Do this at the VMware site: http://www.vmware.com/

- To create virtual machines you should use the vmware console.
a) Run the command "vmware" and the vmware console starts up.
b) Then connect to localhost.

- After created a virtual machine to run it from the cmd line use:
bash# vmware-cmd vmname.vmx start
