Installing VMWare Server in Ubuntu 7.10

Installing VMWare in Ubuntu 7.10 was much simpler than I thought.

Install

Open Terminal from the Applications - Accessories menu.

  1. Update the sources.list file. Enter password when prompted.
  2. Add this line with “gutsy partner” to the end of file:

    Save or :wq

  3. Run an update.
  4. Now install VMWare.
  5. Wait for a little bit for installation to complete.

  6. After the install, access the VMWare Server from the Applications - System Tools menu and select VMWare Server Console.
  7. Just select Localhost and Connect.

Please refer to the VMWare documentation how to use VMWare.
