As I found out I can NOT boot a (bootable) winOS DVD in a VM with Linux guestOS.
More precisely: I can boot but cannot use network resp. Internet connection.
When I boot the same WinOS-DVD in a VM with WinOS guestVM everything is fine and I can use Internet.
It seems to me that the network related parameters in the underlying *.vmx file are guestOS specific and cannot be used
by booted DVD from another OS world. This is surprising.
I thought a booting DVD OS is completely independent from the environment (as in real world).
But this is not the case.
Are there any generic, OS-independent network vmx parameters which let me boot (and use Internet) ALL DVDs regardless which OS world they come from?
