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.=20
