Sorry for the double post but I'm itching for an answer/resulution.
Has anyone successfully installed Novell Netware 5.1 on a Virtual Machine? I downloaded an eval copy of VMWare and am wanting to try to run NW5.1 before making the purchase. I tried but, when it tries to "mount" the CD-ROM drive(from within the guest OS) it fails and then says it can't read any thing from the CD. Any suggestions or comments or even another viable solution? I'm really wanting to be able to test connnectivity between Linux and Novell but don't want to have another machine in my lab.
