Re: Knoppix 5.01 in a VMware virtual machine (can also be used as a very fast free X server for windows)
Gilles,
sorry for replying so late - M$ outl$$K (which I have to use for
work) had dumped your email in the 'junk' folder - just found
it.
This looks really good - I use accelerated knoppix in vmware
player and copied the iso into your vm. I seems really fast, but
I can't see how to get to the vm-tools - can you give a clue or
is it only for std knoppix?

Hello,
FYI, I have created a very compact (11MB) Knoppix 5.01 VMware virtual machine (vm)
with the vm-tools already installed using the official (but not included) ISO live CD/DVD
This vm can be used with the VMPlayer publicly available from vmware:

<http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=107353#107353> The installed VMware tools allow to use Knoppix 5.01 as one of
the fastest "free" Xserver for windows I have tried so far.
Have fun and please provide some feedback !
