If you picked an IDE drive when you set up the virtual guest in VMWare the RHEL 8.0 installation should have picked it up by now.
Leave the Installation Source set to “Local media” as the OS thinks it’s running on a DVD. The installation media will present you with the Red Hat Linux Anaconda Sumarry Screen and from here you can change the language, keyboard you wish to use, pick a time and date. You can switch back to your regular desktop with Ctrl+Alt at any time. The ISO should boot automatically just as a regular DVD medium and all you have to do is click somewhere in the middle of the VMWare screen to make the guest appliance grab focus of your mouse and keyboard. Make sure you give it at least 20 gigs.įinish the guest environment setup and you can now install Red Hat Linux 8 in VMWare Workstation. Red Hat Linux 8.0 will require hard drive space, depending on the packages you will wish to install. The larger you make it, the more work space you’ll have in your RHEL 8 guest. This image file will host the operating system and everything in it. Use an IDE virtual drive (not a SCSI one) and assign at least 20GB disck space to the disk image file about to be created. Pick NAT as a connection type if you want to be able to use the Internet in the virtual machine. 8GB should suffice for testing purposes and you can increase this amount later on if you wish to. In the final screens pick a decent amount of RAM memory for your virtual machine. In the following screens you can choose how many processors you want VMWare to emulate and how many cores per processor should you use. Give this OS a proper name: “RHEL 8” for example. Pick the second option – Linux – and in the Version dropdown list choose “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 64-bit” The next screen will ask you what type of an operating system you wish to install. Browse to the location of your ISO image file.
