Well, because I'm such a Newbie, I have a retarded question.

[kroke]

I have vmware.exe I am trying to run inside of linux. (It is for the Linux OS). Anyhow, because I'm such a newbie, how the hell do I run an .exe file? Or is this supposed to be installed inside of windows?

I'm sorry for posting such a ridiculous question, but hey, I am brand spankin new.

Since I'm making an a$$ of myself, I might as well ask this...
When I install a new RPM, where the hell does it go??? Confusing to a boy raised on Windows hehe.

Thanks, (Someday, I might even be giving Linux advice to newbies....scary isn't it?) :D

hello,
for vmware just install it, run vmconfig-pl and from that point on when running vmware any .exe files need to be executed from within the vm (vitrual machine). to see what files are in an RPM you can use gnorpm or in a terminal type rpm -qi package_name if it installed, if it is not installed rpm -qilp package_name.rpm is what you want
