I am using VMWare Fusion 2 on a Mac. The disk size is 20 GB. Sharing will be disabled. I will give it 1 GB of Ram. I will use NAT for the network connection. The way I understand Fusion is basically the DHCP and gives the VM OS the same IP address every time. I will use the SLES SP 2 ISO for the CD drive. I will use a 10 GB disk size split into 2 GB files.
