Trixbox on VMWare? Sure!

So some of my friends may know that in the past ive tried to run trixbox on vmware, and know I had to make a hack to get it to work “correctly,” IE the timing issue, and how i fixed it. (I had a post about it here).
So its been working fine, but when I moved, It took me some time to get my trixbox back up, just from different things going on. So when I did, everything worked fine…except I had no audio being sent from my ata. DOH!
So instead of trying to work with it, i tried something else. Trixbox has a VMWare pre-made image, which I wanted to try.
download the 2.6.1 VMWare version, unzip, insert into vmware server (1.0.5.andchange)….what? it was made with a version with newer features?
Looking around, I start editing the files, and see config.version and virtualHW.version. These look like I should be changing them! Lets check another working vm…Yup, so I change the version, and next problem, same thing, but it referances the hard drive image. Doh!.
so i asked google (or my new favorite variant: Goosh)
And I find this page, sweet! I do what they say, and followed the comment about changing the hard drive (the dd command) and this worked.
Next problem, it doesnt know what kind of system “rhel5″ is. So I edit the config from the gui, and tell it that its type “Other”. Boot, and it works out of the box.
Now thats sweet!
