i am have tried this as well and have not been successful.
i can not even get the red hat to install, it gets to about 90% of disk 2 and falls over, keeps prompting me to insert the disk again and again requesting the same file which works fine as i installed it on a seperate machine, so it is something with vmware.

any ideas ???

To resolve the CD reading issue, you just first image the 2nd Red Hat CD to an ISO image, then mount that ISO image as the D: drive. That did it for me.

I have the same prob using Linux 9 as VM that couldn't detect the dhcp. CAn any1 tell me how to resolve the prob related to the source file. I have checked the support of the VMware , but not working....

Many thanks
