They did assist me but could not help much, due to lack of Debian knowledge,
but I got help here and got it installed. They are helping me now that it is
installed and they know how to proceed to get networking and sound working.
I can connect to my network with "Network Neighborhood" in Windows98 but not
to the Internet and I am unable to get a sound driver that will actually
work. I am thinking I should buy a Win2000 CD because the drivers that are
included for the VM work with that OS. I am having difficulty finding the
correct driver for Win98 SE. I got one that is meant for Win98SE but it is
an executable file and I am unable to install from that, I need an "inf"
file. Perhaps when the VMware support people get back tomorrow, they will be
able to help, but they told me that if I do get Win2000, I will have a much
easier time with this stuff. I don't want to try XP because it would place
demands on my system that it can't handle.
