 Posted: Sun Nov 03, 2002 2:08 am Post subject: EULA for VMWare |
 |
|
Ok I have emerged VM Ware and I have figured out the command. I typed "./opt/vmware/bin/vmware" I got a message to first run vmware-config.pl. So I tried to run it. It gave me an eror saying that I have to first read and agree to the End User License Agreement. In the agreement it says to select the YES or No buttons at the bottom of the document. THESE BUTTONS DO NOT EXIST. After I got to the bottom of the agreement I could not get out of it. I had to close the eterm window and open a new one just to find myself in the same place after following the instructions again. How do I agree to the agreement so I can start VMWare.

vmware-config.pl is run from the console last time I checked. I remember simply typing "yes" to accept the EULA. |

I typed "/opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl" and I got and it told me to read the EULA.
I read the EULA and typed "yes" at the bottom. Nothing happened and vmware still says to run the vmware-config.pl
So I typed "vmware-config.pl yes" It thought I typed "vmware-config.pl y" and just told me what config.pl does.
Where are you typing "yes"

| IIRC when I type vmware-config.pl It displayed the Eula then prompted me to enter YES or NO. |

Is there a timeout on the file to make sure you read it before it prompts for an answer? When I scroll to the bottom of the text it says "(END)" If I type "yes" there it displays "Logfile:" after I type the "s" . If I type "YES" is says "Examine:" after I type the "E". If I type "yes" or "YES" at either of the pronpts it says "Input is not a pipe"

Looks like the config script is using the 'less' command to show you some text. Try hitting 'q' (as for "quit"), and see if it presents you a prompt asking for "yes" or "no".
