- 1. Double-click on the `.vmx` file and you're off! :-)\r

-You can tweak `memsize` to adjust the memory. By default, VMWare Player creates a VLAN and does DHCP, so running `dhclient` works. I haven't tried to install X11. I haven't tried the Linux version of VMware Player yet. I tried the SCSI disk images, but they didn't work immediately, so I gave up and used the IDE image.\r

+1. Download the VMware Player application: http://www.vmware.com/download/player/ and install.
+1. Create a subdirectory, e.g. `C:\Documents and Settings\smith\Desktop\dfbsd\`.

+1. Create a VMware virtual machine configuration file with the extension `.vmx` in that directory, e.g. `dfbsd.vmx`: see below.
+1. Change the parameter `ide1:0.fileName` to match the name of the ISO image.
+1. Double-click on the `.vmx` file and you're off! :-)
