Install Asterisknow On Vmware
I'm using asterisk and trying to implement a test environment for testing asterisk functionalities on VM. I'm using VMware workstation 8 and trying to install AsteriskNOW 6.12-64 bit vi iso downloaded for following location.
Now I'm stuck in the middle of:
Installing VMware Tools,please wait.. mount : special device /dev/hda does not exist mount : block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read only
after that forever waiting.
This is taking too long and never ending. I tried to install several times and the result is same. I also noticed that the starting the install the following error is displayed, however it lets you to continue:
Unsupported hardware detected.
This hardware (or a combination thereof ) is not supported by centos. {note that I'm using a typical VM in VMware}
I tried browsing google for a solution but couldn't find a solution. Please help and let me know if this is the best way to start with asterisk.

Looks like it is trying to install VMWare tools into the VM. VMWare tools are optional and used for convinience only.
Try searching for a setting to disable this.
