   this assignment must be done in class!

1. make sure VMware player has been installed as a program on your
station.

2. make sure your have this file on your station 
       e:\cs241-xxx\empty-vm\other.vmx
           where xxx is your 3 char login

    note: ABC.vmx is the vmware config file
     for the virtual machine (vm) in this dir.

3. edit other.vmx (using note pad or word pad)
    set the CDROM for the vm
     to access fedora core 6 CD #1 from the instructor dir:

ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "u:\Moritsugu_Steven\fc6-1.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
...
ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
