3.4 Using a VMware Image on Any Platform

A VMware image of a complete Fedora Core 7-based Linux system with all necessary dependencies and a complete install of OSSIE-0.6.2 is available at
http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu/trac/wiki/Downloads. All that is needed to run the virtual image is the VM­Ware Player, available for no fee from
http://www.vmware.com/download/player/. Versions of the player are available for both Windows and Linux.

Install VMware Player on your system, unzip the virtual image and open it. For full instructions on installing and using VMware player, please consult [9].

It is recommended that you keep a copy of the zipped virtual image so that you do not need to download the image a second time to start with a fresh copy. Changes that you make from within the image will alter it, and in the event of drastic unwanted changes, starting afresh is easy if you have an extra copy of the image on your hard drive.
