The choice of the host operating system does not matter. The guest will have to be Windows. Again, the choice of the host operating system is not important either Windows or Linux will do , but the guest will have to run Windows. As you can see, both of these solutions are limited to having a Windows guest running, though. So, in the third article, we'll try VMGL, a solution that is supposed to give you 3D acceleration for Linux guests on top of Linux hosts.
Please note that all the mentioned features and therefore, the solutions are currently experimental. This means that the setup might work for you - or it might not. It also means less than perfect integration and performance. In near future, we will have perfect, full-blown 3D graphics support that we desire.
For now, let's see what we can do. OK, let's rock. Ah, yes, sorry. If you're new to virtualization, this article or rather, this series may be slightly advanced for you. Therefore, I recommend you spend some time reading the articles in my Virtualization section until you get comfortable enough with the topics. In particular, the article that you should pay attention to:. Installing Windows XP - Full tutorial - Another article that may help you obtain what you need; this will teach you how to install Windows XP, a procedure that is identical for both real hosts and virtual machines.

Aug 31, Jul 24, Also virtualization is leaps and bounds faster than physical, even if you are running beyond the recommended hardware specs for the operating system. You will need to know, or have the following to be able to proceed with this.
Only begin the process once you have confirmed you have the following. I personally have copies of the Windows 98 Second Edition installation media with me, I have digital copies of these on my personal home server that I use for setting up virtual machines.
Copies of the CD-ROM and bootable floppy disk are widely available online, however for safety I would suggest downloading it from somewhere like Archive. If you have a physical CD-ROM and floppy disk then you can certainly connect the virtual machine to these drives on your host, however you may find the installation process is much slower than using digital copies.
For this to work properly you will need to be using a host that can do virtualization. This is enabled via a technology referred to as VT-x. For many pre-built systems such as those from large manufacturers like Dell, HP or Lenovo VT-x is likely disabled by default and will require enabling. Check your vendors documentation on how to enable this — however the process between vendors is rather simple and this blog entry at helpdeskgeek.
Not all systems can virtualize however — some lower end processors, laptops or tablets may not support virtualization. Beyond enabling VT-x, you will also need to consider system resources on your host that you will need to allocate to the virtual machine.
My personal preference is overkill when dedicating resources to the virtual machine, this means that I need to ensure I can spare MB of RAM and anywhere between 10 to 30GB of hard disk space.
In the world of virtualization you will often hear the terms host and guest. Host may also be referred to as hyper-visor. A host is the system to which the virtualisation software sits on. In this case it is likely your normal desktop PC or laptop. A guest is used to describe any operating system that exists virtually under the host. In this case Windows 98 Second Edition is a guest on your host computer.
I write this guide expecting that you will be using the latest Microsoft operating system at the time of writing, Windows However the basics will apply to Windows 7, 8 and 8. For Linux users VMware do develop a. OK so hopefully you have successfully set up the virtual machine as per the instructions above, and you are sitting at the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu prompt.
You can even persuade it to run in black and white if you really want to. You say that there is an emulated card in vmware. Where can I see the type of that card? Where can I get a driver to it? And anyway. This is a laptop. So I dont want to put a phisical video card into it. I used this expression to change the type of the emulated video card in vmware. Or is that impossible? Video driver is included with additions Install your app in the guest.
If all else fails, use VBE display driver. It should work with any video card, but it won't be the best solution. VMware Player 4. There's no particular advantage to running Workstation, especially considering that it isn't freeware, right? Player works just fine for everyone, and it supports Windows 7's XP Mode migration migration feature works only correctly with Player 3. The one thing I can't stand about VMware is that every time there's an update from 4.
Actually, the other thing is that their website has an obnoxious sign-in process, but at least the updates can be downloaded directly from the application now. Except you're not given any handy way to save the download for next time. First post, by christo Posted on ,
