wouldnt that be the same as just telling vmware in the software itself |
| 25 |
to use the that iso image? i cant use vmware's virtual cdrom for this |
| 26 |
project, it gives me errors on boot, i need to find a way to have it |
| 27 |
mounted some other way like daemontools for windows. i have tried |
| 28 |
just mounting the iso as a cdrom in folder /media/cdrom and other |
| 29 |
places, but vmware complains that you cant use a folder like that. so |
| 30 |
im kinda out of ideas. can it even be done? |
