Not a pointer and don't know if it's any help.  VMWare Freeware (I get
tired of their marketing names), not the Workstation, installed Fedora
14 for me just fine under Vista.  I think I built the machine from an
iso image and not from a physical disk.  The relevant software is all
free from VMWare.  Once the machine is built, I'd imagine that
Workstation would run it, but who knows.
