 |
|
Following a successful installation, I thought I'd share a solution which worked for me, YMMV.
Keep in mind, anyone can get a 30 day trial license for VMware
Background:
Original system
| Code: | IBM Thinkpad T20
RH 7.2 kernel 2.4.18 patched for IPsec/VPN access
2 hard drives
VMWare 3.1 |
Available Networks
| Code: | | Client Network or Dialup |
Solution
Booted RH
Configured squid to listen on vmnet8 (VMware's host-only networking dev)
Configured squid to proxy to client IIS proxy (cache_peer)
Added 'login=$NTDOMAIN\$UID:PASSWORD' to cache_peer
Added 'never_direct allow all'
Added 'http_access allow all'
Setup VMware
Raw drive access to second drive (or second partition, remember to edit you fstab later)
Virtual CD to .iso
Ethernet to NAT
Boot VMware session from .iso
Set /etc/make.conf to PROXY=$VMWARE_HOST_ADDRESS
Set /etc/wget/wgetrc PROXY=$VMWARE_HOST_ADDRESS
Install per Gentoo directions
Insure you emerge squid before exiting the VMware session
Exit VMware
Mount the drives from RH
Edit fstab as required
If keeping current VMware setup, do nothing
To boot to second hard drive, change hda/sda to hd*/sd* (as appropriate) and add grub settings to default (RH) loader
If swapping hard drives, I'd recommend updating the grub settings to include your current install (as drive 2), and modifying your RH fstab settings.
Have fun
