VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX ON SLACKWARE HOW TO
VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX ON SLACKWARE INSTALL

It weighs in at over 400 MB, and that's huge given that unRAID is running in RAM. The other problem is the size of the package. The 2nd thing that I will need to try is installing VMware on an unRAID machine and building the package there (as opposed to building it on a Slackware development machine). The next steps (whenever I can get to them) would be trying the package on a Slackware build to see if the problems are with the package itself or if the problems are due to the combination of the package+unRAID. It's encouraging because it looks like SOMETHING is happenining, just not everything. On the working (Slackware) build machine running the commands creates about 6 or 7 lines of progress reporting output talking about services being either started or stopped, but the unRAID machine with the installed package only produces two line, and the web admin page for VMware is not reachable. This is based on installing the package on an unRAID machine and then running the VMware start & stop commands.

First of all, it looks like some but not all of the software works. The package is encouraging, but it's not there for a couple of reasons. Last week, I created a VMware package using the latest Server 2 beta. I've been trying to make some progress, but I haven't been able to put as much time into it as I'd like. Noticed people are trying to get vmware installed on unRAID system. I'll have to dig deeper to see what is actually going on, but I am encouraged simply seeing the console appear! I added the VMware line to /etc/nf (which I didn't make a part of the package) and restarted, but I'm still getting this error. Bad news is that connecting to Local Host timed out saying that the VMware server was not installed or not running. The good news is that invoking VMware brought up the console. Copying these to a new directory tree probably took 20 or so copy commands and maybe 10 or 15 mkdir commands.tedious but not too bad.Īfter making the package, I went back to a clean VM and installed the package. Excluding the doc files, I ended up with about 2500 files that seemed to result from the VMware Server install. Out of the 250k files, a lot of them were the same and a lot of the different ones seemed to be 'real time' files (like /proc files).

Not knowing how to compare the two lists any other way, I pulled them into Excel 2007 and found all the differences. I installed VMware Server 1.0.5 using the vmware-any-any-update116fix patch.I made a full file listing grabbing date, time, size, and file name with full path.

I unzipped the VMware installation packages on a clean install (upgraded to slackware-current, 2.6.24.4 kernel to match Beta 4).

OK, so I finally got around to trying to make a package, and I met only limited success.
