SuSE Live DVD and VMware

Continuing my experiments with SusE and vmware , I downloaded SuSe 10.2 live DVD to play it via VMware, however it was not working and whenever I selected to boot Gnome or KDE it gave and error that “at least 512MB is required”

I turned out that the Vmware virtual machine that I create for Suse had allocated 256MB of RAM whereas 512MB is required for the Live CD, I increased the RAM size from 256 to 512 and the live version started working properly , though too slow at times.

Asterisk and VMware disk detection problem

I have downloaded asterisk (trixbox) CD and have tried installing it via VMware on my Windows XP but asterisk is failing to detect the virtual drive of Vmware and installation is not successful , I wonder if someone has successfully installed asterisk on vmware in Windows?

EDIT: It is working now, you just need to select IDE drive instead of SCSI in the virtual machine, this parameter is not modifiable so you will need to create a new virtual machine having IDE option for disk drive.
