Hi Capricorny,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
To get Knoppix to work as a VmWare guest I had to add some Linux Kernel modules in the minirt.
BTW, did you try the knoppix vm guest I posted in my previous post ? It uses the Knoppix iso as a base
so the vm data is practically the VmWare tools plus the 3D acceleration supports under VmWare 9.0.1
(nice to see the compiz cube within a vm guest). At boot time (grub menu) you will have two boot options:
one to boot with a ramdisk and the other with data persistence (in a separate virtual disk).
Just try it if you can and please let me know how it works for you.
Best Regards,
Gilles
