1. harddisk bus type should be set to IDE
2. select development related tools when configured the installation
3. install vmware tools after fedora core installed - sudo ./vmware-install.pl
4. if console asked for the location of linux c header, you should install kernel-devel first - sudo yum install kernel-devel
5. continue with the default settings and maybe still some erros happened, don't care. Reboot vmware later.
ps. Please refer to another doc about how to use yum with local DVD source
ps. Chinese won't be installed if use english during the installation, you can install later with following commands - sudo yum install fonts-chinese
ps. Maybe an error will pop up when you type rpm -q kernel-devel, following commands can solve this issue -
cd /var/lib/rpm
rm -f __db.*
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
Done!
