[9fans] Boot Plan 9 on VMWare Workstation

[fouRmi]

Can I install plan-9 on VMWare Workstation? If so, I got some problems
and it didn't run as i expected. My VMWare Station is version 5.5.1
build-19175. It stops after that "Install mbr (y, n) [no default]: "
and that i choose yes. Only ">>>" is waiting. What should i do next?

Also another question, what is the exact filesize of the CD image. I
mean the ISO file. I download it twice but got two different sizes of
image. One of them is 267 MB (280,584,192 bytes). Is it correct? Or
there may be some errors while downloading.

Thanks.
 Regards.

the downloadable image is rebuilt every night and bzip2'd. if the image
were corrupted, bunzip2 should give you errors.

Thanks Mahmoud AlGammal

But I cannot browse your website. I'm sure it will be very useful. I
dunno why.

Thanks anyway.
