I've surely done something wrong. I just don't know what.
I'm using vmware-player-1.0.1.19317-r7, and I have run the
configuration script to
enable all forms of networking.
Further, I'm running the Minix virtual machine from the web page.
At school where I teach, this VM works fine under Fedora Core 5. Here, I cannot
get a floppy to work either as /dev/fd0 nor as a file. I also cannot
get internet
stuff to work.
Floppy always reports I/O errors: an interrupt times out. The floppy
is /dev/fd0
and works under Gentoo.
Internet fails to get a host IP. Gentoo reports vmnet1 and vmnet8 are up.
"Here" is a dual-Xeon running Gentoo, all stable packages.
SO: Minix cannot contact the outside world by floppy or by internet.
Not helpful.
I get this message every time I start VMplayer:
/opt/vmware/player/lib/bin/vmplayer:
/opt/vmware/player/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version
information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
