I am not at all a Unix person and would very much like to learn. I installed Fedora Final Core 2 on my P4 PC running WinXP inside a virtual machine. The installer worked fine when I used at the installation boot prompt the text “linux linuxresolution=1024x768” (without the quotes). The X-Windows GUI worked and installed fine until the end. When I rebooted for the first time, I noted that all services said OK except smartd which failed. Towards the end, when the X-Windows GUI is about to come up, text line which go by quickly state that a monitor cannot be found and I am sent to the command line for logging on.
Go to the help menu in VMWare. They have very specific instructions which will walk you through the installation of each guest operating system... including Linux. While I do not remember the specific steps off the top of my head, I have used that same help system several times with Linux and it worked perfectly.
