I did say thta itsit was somewhat off-topic
Yes you did however the reason I made the statement the way I did is because I what you as well as other reading this to understand that even though this isn't a VMware issue and it's not that it can't be discussed here, it can to some degree, however it's that this particular issue has already been covered exhaustively on the Internet and a simple Google search using the phrase I suggested yields many sources not only just in writing but videos too covering the subject and in cases such as this it is absoutly ridiculous to start yet another thead on the topic unless you have explisit and specific issues surounding the topic and give reference to the source material, what you've tried, what's not working, etc., etc.
Hence my comment "and not to have to reinvent the wheel, so to speak".
