Of course, this is more of a Fusion question than Linux, so half-OT. Sorry.<br><br clear="all">-- Asher <br>

Hi.<br>
<p>
I'm a Mac user with Fusion. I downloaded the CentOS 5.2 (Desktop, not server) virtual
appliance. I expanded the 7z file. Now I have a directory that contains<br>
</p><p>
CentOS5-f001.vmdk CentOS5-f005.vmdk CentOS5.vmx<br>
CentOS5-f002.vmdk CentOS5.nvram CentOS5.vmxf<br>
CentOS5-f003.vmdk CentOS5.vmdk users.txt<br>
CentOS5-f004.vmdk CentOS5.vmsd users.txt~<br>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
What's the next step? I tried "Import", but all files are grayed out. I
tried "new VM" and then pointing to the vmdk file. That continued
"successfully', but the system panic'd when booting, complaining that
VolGroup00 doesn't exist. What's the secret?</p><p><br></p><p>I installed many flavors of Linux in VM's in the past, but it was always from scratch - either from DVD/CD, the network, or an iso image. Never done the appliance thingy. Any idea anybody?<br>
</p><p><br>
</p><p>
Thanks. <br>
