Cant install Dream Linux

[Shane]

Hi all,

for some reason i cant install Dream Linux on Vmware

i started it up in live mode then went to the installer and its asking for me to select a drive to install to.

But theres no drives listed in the drop down menu and i cant even type in a drive

without that i cant do a thing

any suggestions?
Thanks

You do not have vMware tools installed. At the very bottom of the window.

dream linux is live. vmtools won't work, there are distros that doesn't work with virtual hard disk, instead give it access to a physical partition.
This very afternoon i was trying ZENWALK i couldn't install it as it didn't see any hard drives

ohh well at least i can try it in live mode....i like it so far and it looks real nice

if only it was Mac Osx
