Re: installing debian with vmware work station speech stops part way threw the installation

[Nick Gawronski <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, I will install to the default choice and see if that makes any 
difference as from my testing it appears to work better if it is 
installed in the default location as audio is not stopping but not sure 
if there are any vmware work station logs that I could take a look at to 
see if anything is wrong.  Do you know if upgrading to the pro version 
is going to get me any major advantages over the free version?  Nick
