This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:
The easiest method of installing SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES 8) in a virtual machine is to use the standard SuSE distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation using the standard distribution CD; however, installing SLES 8 via the boot floppy/network method is supported as well.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and configured a new virtual machine.
This completes basic installation of the SLES 8 guest operating system.
Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the manual for your VMware product.
On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.
