Vmware requieres some crowbar work before functioning properly on slx2.0 so if you can you might want to use qemu instead.

pxebooting vmware
if you want to use vmware to test debian-edu youll face an issue where you can't pxeboot the client. the reson beeing that the default initrd dont have vmware's network interface kernel module.
how to add a module
to recreate the the initrd with the modue for vmware included, you must
add the module name pcnet32 to the line saying nic_modules= in the file `/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lessdisks/mkinitrd/initrd-netboot.conf
- chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount /proc
without this youll have a broken initrd
- chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386
test if you got the module into the initrd with grep pcnet32 /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386
- should reply that binary file.... matches.
- cp /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386
This overwrites your old initrd. backup is your own responsibility.
- boot the client.
