This guest operating system is supported on the following VMware products:
The easiest method of installing SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES 7) 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 7 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.
Note: During the SLES 7 installation, a standard VGA16 X server should be installed. To get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine, install the VMware Tools package immediately after installing SLES 7.
This completes basic installation of the SLES 7 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.
