Autocad-Lite will run on VMWare Workstation 3.0 with Windows 98 SE as the 'guest OS' within VMWare. With Win98 running, one can then install VMWare Tools (which helps speed up graphics.) And next, go to www.98lite.net and download 98lite and the IEradicator. These turn the supposedly necessary, "bundled" IE and other web-based marketing/monitoring/adspam-portals into OPTIONS which you can then go in and REMOVE using Control Panel's Add/remove Software tool. So you clean house and the OS runs MUCH faster. VMWare 'grants' 64Meg RAM to its 'guest' OS, and although AutoCAD supposedly requires 128Meg, it runs fine once you 98lite sweeps through town. Beware, there is another company at www.98lite.COM which is running a SCAM in which they collect MONEY, and then point you to the FREE site (.net) With the guest OS so prepared, Installed AutoCAD LT 2002 (Student Price: $329) in 15 min, and it seems to run fine. |
