I was unable to do a regular install, I got to the 'finish' step and
the it seemed to finish properly, but the disk image never was
bootable. BUT I am able to use the vmware.zip now in Vmware 4.0. I
removed the USB controller, the CD drive, and the floppy drive and
then started the virtual machine. I am now logged in as glenda. I
will attempt to add the CD back in unless I can use an SMB mount.
Here is my config file if you would like to have a look:
#!/usr/bin/vmware
config.version = "6"
virtualHW.version = "2"

floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"
memsize = "96"

ide1:0.startConnected = "FALSE"
