Mac . . . . .
I feel sure that if you spend some time with EasyVMX it will probably mean more to you, but this is all a bit new to me; down an avenue I haven't been before.
But to answer the question: the previous successful route generates two very specific files, a .vmdk virtual disc file and a .vmx configuration file. The latter is a very simple 1kb affair only requiring a v6.06 to 6.10 edit. By contrast, the EasyVMX - trying both 'easy' and 'super simple' - generates five or six different files, including a much more involved configuration file. Because of my experience level of this (or maybe because of limited sleep over previous 48 hours) I couldn't get my head around the interaction of all these files, latterly coming to the conclusion that I was probably only supposed to use some of them. Either way, no luck.
Anyway, I shall look forward to my first experience of Linux over the next few days. Very interested to have ago at the Mac, via PearPC, if I can lay my hands on a Mac disc. Bit of a novelty to have the three main OS's on one laptop, but only one of them on the hard drive.
Anything else on this whole subject would be very interesting.
