thehorse13, I only wrote this tut because I had some problems finding info on this subject when I needed to find it. GRUB/LILO don't work on my computer, so I need to do it this way. I hope this helps people in the same situation. Also, I really haven't played around with VMWare enough but I've found it to be much slower than an independant install whenever I have.
Cheers,
