So far I have succeeded in getting 2 virtual machines running. One, Windows XP, I copied over from a Fedora 9 system. The other, Fedora 12, I actually installed using Workstation 7. This install, which I did from an iso image, went perfect no issues at all and I allocated 1Gb for memory, and F12 isn't even listed as a supported guest. I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10, which is a supported guest os, it starts fine, asks a few questions, starts the disk partitioning and then suddenly powers off. I'll try lowering the memory allocation and see if that works. It's funny that the only VM I can install on Workstation 7 is Fedora 12 :-)
