Any way to install Windows on Linux using VMware WITHOUT Gnome/X?
Hey, I'm trying to install windows on my linux machine for programming reasons using VMplayer, but my X isn't setup correctly.
I always get weird errors when using things that need X.
When I try to re-install GNOME, it says I'm missing httpd dependency, when I in fact, have it with Cpanel.
So anyways, is there any way to install a virtual image of Windows on my linux machine without using VNC or X? Like through SSH/Shell?
-Thanks
ps: I just installed VMplayer, and I get weird errors like
..so I don't think VMplayer can run without X, but PLEASE tell me I'm wrong./usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:59: error: unexpected identifier `animation', expected character `}'
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libspi.so.0: undefined symbol: atk_hyperlink_impl_get_type
-Thanks again.

First of all, you should address the issues that you are having with X, do not just give up and leave a big part of your system broken.
VMware Player does require X, you are looking for VMware Server which is also free. You would have to install Windows in VMware Workstation and a machine that does have X, then copy that virtual image to the machine running VMware Server.

Well, I am looking for a program that can do this it self.
But there might be a Virtual PC that runs using FrameBuffers.
Then you dont need X11. But you can see a Gaphical Envoirment in your Windows (Virtual) box.
Maybe (As I said before Im not sure if it exist I am looking for one myself) that works.
