Clean Workstation install on VMware. There was not enough disk space to complete install, and this got reported correctly. After that a dialog with the following text appeared: "Error unmounting hda5: Device or resource busy". Hit OK, then Back until it got to the Dependency check stage. After some time it exited with a signal 11, umounted everything, except "/mnt/sysimage umount failed (16)", and ejected the cdrom.
Which version of VMWare?
VMware 2.0 build-476. I didn't check on a real machine yet.
We currently do not support vmware as a platform.
