hello list, |

i bought i laptop with windows xp pre-installed. i shrunk the windows |
| 4 |
partition to install my gentoo linux, which is what i normally use. but |
| 5 |
the machine is still dual boot. |

several years ago (8-9) i tried a 30-days demo version of vmware and it |
| 8 |
was quite efficient running windows in a virtual machine under linux. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
now i found that there are many ebuilds to install vmware, and i'm a |
| 11 |
bit confused: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
first, there are many different ebuilds, what do i need to run the |
| 14 |
windows xp i have installed in a different partition? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
second, vmware is not free in the sense that you have to buy it, what |
| 17 |
does the ebuild install? a free version? a demo? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
i found a few pages on the net explaining how to install vmware on |
| 20 |
gentoo, but i'm not clear about those issues. thanks for any hint. |
