Lars, I am somewhat confused. It sounds like you are using mdk as your
host, and W2K as your guest OS inside of Vmare, inside of mdk. I have not
used mdk v8 yet, but given your above remarks, something is wrong. VMWare
does not start by using lilo at all. it is started, once it is installed
in mdk, inside of VMware, from the command line in your personal dir.
Lilo has nothing to do with Vmware, and is just used for your host OS, to
get Linux and whatever other OS you use started. If you installed W2K
inside of VMware as a guest, open VMware from the command line, then open
W2K from within VMware. Also, I do not know if it works with the 2.4
kernel yet. I use it with 2.17 in mdk 7.2.
