Vmware emulates a complete PC, and in that PC you have a running linux system -- nothing emulated with that linux, it's a standard distribution that's running. The only thing you need are standard linux basics. There are tons of tutorials out there (and it's also quite similar to the cygwin environment).

zombieplasticclock, you can get standard rockbox sims (for windows) at http://rasher.dk/rockbox/
I've uploaded a Win32 sim for my latest build too, see the unsupported builds forum for that. With regard to VMware, I remember having some trouble with the firewall/ AV on my PC but since you're not on the interweb you should be fine. Be aware that if you do make a sim in vmware, it will be a linux sim, you would need to read this page on the wiki if you want to make a win32 sim from linux.

I'm not too familiar with VMware, I used it for about a month, then got fed up with it (and everything else in windows) and switched to linux.

 Ok, More answers, more questions...

1- I already have the Rockbox sim for VMware.

2- Firewall? Can you explain firther?

3- where do I download SVN's?

4- I'm not making a sim with VMware. I can download one.

EDIT- Forget about Four. Didn't pay attention to Evilg's Link. Sorry...
- I need 2 and 3 answered, please.

Thanks
