Computer problems

mitch @ 8:01 pm on November 18, 2004

Well, my wife could really use Windows for school… (some of the DVD’s and CD’s she has for studing only work on windows or mac…) so, I thought I could run VMWare which would also allow me to play some games online with guys from work. I attempted the install in Gentoo, and the installer asks for the /etc/rcX.d directories, and since gentoo doesn’t have them, i thought I could get away with creating some sym links to the directories they do have…. well, that ended up completly messing up my / partion…. So, instead of reloading Gentoo again and taking a couple days and then somehow maybe getting vmware to work. I desided to load Fedora Core 3. Since it was just release a week or so ago. I’ve been running it at work since the day it came out, and have really liked it. So I installed it and to my suprise I was able to load it in under 10 minutes. The SATA drives performance supprised me :) Anyway, loading VMWare from Core 3 so far has been cake. Just need to load an OS.
