Yes. Make it read-only on the host OS. (In other words, remove the hypervisors write access to the floppy image) Depending on your platform, this may be easier said than done as the ESX hypervisors ignores all permission settings on VMFS volumes. In that case store the floppy image in "Images" or on an NFS share. JJ -----Original Message----- From: mmc...@ox... [mailto:mmc...@ox...] Sent: 7. oktober 2010 15:57 To: dev...@li... Subject: Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] vm ware trouble This was a nice mini how-to. But a question. Is it possible to write-protect the VMware floppy image in some way, like it is with some USB keys or physical floppies? > ----- Original Message ------ > From: Heiko Zuerker <he...@zu...> > Sent: Mon, 04 Oct 2010 07:44:58 -0500 > To: dev...@li... > Subject: Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] vm ware trouble > > > Hey, > > running DL in VMWare works fine, so it's probably just some > configuration issue. > > Here are a few pointers: > - Set the CD-ROM to IDE and mount the ISO directly. > - use the 1.44 MB floppy image for the config and let VMWare create > the image right away (not sure if the old 5.5 let's you do that). > - Make sure all the CD and floppy devices are set to 'connect at boot'. > - Boot DL with the 'empty config' when it asks and then format the floppy. > - Get the latest DL version from our FTP server, Sourceforge will have > the RC6 within the next day. > > Heiko > > Quoting Stephen Butler <ste...@ho...>: > > > Hello, > > > > I am testing devil linux 1.4rc4 using vmware 5.5 workstation. > > > > I've added the cd iso as a bootable cd. > > > > When I start up the vm I select the usb flash drive I want to save > > config to but eventually get an error message saying the devil linux > > cd can not be found. > > > > I also tryed using a vm blank floppy image which was not recognised. > > > > Any suggestions would be great. > > > > thanks > > remus. > > -- > > Regards > Heiko Zuerker > http://www.devil-linux.org > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized > environment for deploying applications.
