Hi,

I have win2k on my computer and I have installed vmware. I have configured a virtual machine and inside the folder of the machine I installed linux mandrake 8.

I did that just by pressing the 'power on' button I inserted the cd for linux and I went through the installation procedure.

The installation finished but now when I press the power on button,m to run linux, the loading procedure freezes just when lilo runs.

Can you please tell me if I am doding something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Antonis

Where did you tell lilo to install?

In VMware, you install the bootloader to the mbr of which is actually within the guest os.
