VMware (Workstation, Player, Server) is a commercial virtualization system that emulates hardware resources allowing one computer to host a number of x86 architecture-compatible operating systems. The Player and Server versions are distributed free of charge (gratis). It runs on either Win32 or Linux host machines, allowing you to run OLPC images within the virtual machine. A Mac version is also available, VMWare Fusion, however this is not provided free of charge (a free 30-day evaluation is available).
How to Make Emulation Files for running SUGAR Desktop only
- VMWorkstation 6.5.2
- create new (Linux,other Linux 2.6x kernel 512 memory CD: (Fedora-11-Preview-i386-netinst.iso) 8Gib disk)
- net install with network connection
- use entire disk
