VMWare bits and pieces

Assuming you have it running on linux of course...

You can start a virtual machine using the following:

vmrun start /{path to virtual machine}.vmx/

When you have an issue starting the virtual machine check the directory where the VMX file resies. If the machine is not running and there are .WRITELOCK files present, then delete them.

If you want best performance (or better, at least...) install lots of memory in your host machine - prefereably 3+Gigs and give the virtual machine enough memory that it doesnt have to start swapping to the drive.
