You can set the memsize to even lower if you wanted...but did you also reboot and load it on a fresh boot?
ruben12345:
yes, of course. I did reboot and also tried installing the entire software on another machine with the same results.
Is there any other source from where I can download and what files do I need to download.
DanManners:
I know this is just SLIGHTLY noobish, but could someone direct me to a page to help set up samba in VMware? I can NOT figure it out for the life of me :-( thanks

As I told you in the PM, the rockbox VMware image has the samba share already set up.
To access it, open up any windows explorer window, type "\\debian\user" in the address bar, then when the authentication window pops up, type "user" as the username and "rockbox" as the password. You should now be in your VMware home dir.

Well, I've tried setting up VMware tonight (Windows XP, VMware player in C:/Program files/..., VMware image in M:/VMware), and it has not set up the virtual drive path for me. Error message: 'Windows cannot find '\\debian\user''
I had checked out CVS OK, did 'configure', 'make' and 'make zip' OK. I can see the zip file has been created in my 'user@debian\rockbox-devel\build' folder, so I'm happy that the whole process works, it's just that I cannot see it from Windows.
The \\debian\user path just does not exist. I've used IE, Start>Run..., and Network Neighborhood and it's not there :(
I managed to get the zip file in my posession by FTPing it from VMware to my webspace and then FTPing it back into Windows and it works fine, but that's a really long-winded way to work, especially once I start applying patches.
I also asked in IRC, but nothing suggested there worked.
Can I either get the path set up manually, or mount the windows drive within VMware somehow just to give me that link from VMware to Windows to allow me to start working?
