Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

Red Hat Linux 7.0

Support

This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:

• VMware Workstation 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.5, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2

• VMware GSX Server 3.0, 3.1

• VMware VirtualCenter 1.1

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 Red Hat Linux 7.0 in a virtual machine is to use the

standard Red Hat distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation using the

standard distribution CD; however, installing Red Hat Linux 7.0 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.

Note: During the Red Hat Linux 7.0 text mode installation, a standard XFree86

version 4 server (without support for VMware SVGA or standard VGA) will be installed.

Do not run that X server. Instead, to get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside

the virtual machine, you should install the VMware Tools package immediately after

installing Red Hat Linux 7.0.

Installation Steps

1. Insert the Red Hat Linux 7.0 CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Red Hat Linux 7.0.

We recommend you install the operating system with the text mode installer. At

the Red Hat 7.0 CD boot prompt, you are offered the following choices:

To install or upgrade a system ... in graphical mode ...

To install or upgrade a system ... in text mode, type: text <ENTER>.

To enable expert mode, ...

Use the function keys listed below ...

Choose the text mode installer by typing text followed by Enter.

3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine. Be sure to

make the choices outlined in the following steps.
