Re: A list of config file entries

continuum — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 14:18:08 GMT

Well - I have added options for the most basic parameters. But of course my list is incomplete.
I'd like to invite everyone to post some vmx-files or add some options for parameters at this place
http://sanbarrow.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=3
You can post without having to create an account - I will keep this open for a while.
The results will appear later at vmguru.com

If you run VMware on Linux - please just collect some vmx-files and send them to my email or post to the link from above.
Thanks

Ulli

Hi there,

Here is a link that show some of the info(parameters)

Aye.. some options are visible when you peer through the binaries, but, not all.

Hi Liz,

Nobody said you did, I just wanted to let the user(s) know that most require a parameter to make it work.

Re: A list of config file entries

Liz — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 07:59:28 GMT

I never said it was complete, nor even implied it was.

Re: A list of config file entries

KevinG — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:58:32 GMT

devzero is right, this list is not complete because many of the listed options require parameters

Re: A list of config file entries

devzero — Tue, 30 Aug 2005 21:52:43 GMT

no - the descriptions of that params are missing !

That's a pretty good list! Thanks!

these may or may not be most of them, I wouldnt recommend using any of them without realising it could break absolutely everything with no return.

Re: A list of config file entries

Liz — Thu, 11 Aug 2005 06:57:52 GMT

Doing a strings on the linux vmware binary seems to have some interesting options, however, being sure whats an option and what isnt .... is another matter.

In answer, I dont think there is.

A list of config file entries

scribbs — Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:42:24 GMT

I keep seeing all these solutions that say "add blah blah to your config file". Is there a single list of all of these extra entries you can add?
