hi Nataraj,

how interesting
if you did manage to install olive in vmware - why dont you share with us here, step by step - i guess many of us will be interested

what hyperterminal transport you want to connect to the vmware? telnet or serial (console)? if the serial - it will not do - because you must either use the serial port for the host OS or the guest, unless you have of 2 serial ports in your mainboard.

HTH.
