I'm trying to setup a Virtual PC or VMWare for Fedora Core 2.

I have m$ Virtual PC 2004 and VMWare 4.5.2.

With VMWare, FC2 will install and run, but will not run X Windows.

I can't get m$VPC2K4 to even run the FC2 install.

I am able to get either to run knoppix or knoppix-std to run just fine.

Has anyone had any problems installing and running FC2 on either of these apps?

I just want to setup a virtual network and run some OSS honeypots. (honeyd, arpd, etc)

My machine specs:

P4 1.9ghz, 1 gig rdram, xp pro, 128MB nvida gforcefx 5200, 1x80GB HD 1x60GB HD, etc

On m$VPC2K4, I'm setting it as OS= "Other" and allowing 384MB memory. They don't have any other "linux" settings. The older version (before it was aquired by m$) of Connectix Virtual PC for Windows 5.2 would run FC2 with no problems.

On VMWare 4.5.2, I've tried "Red Hat Linux" and "Other 2.6.x Kernel" I'm still allowing 384MB memory.

Before I always had setup an extra box and played around there. I just thought it'd be easier to setup my initial install, and copy the image. Rather than reinstalling everytime.
