I just upgraded Fusion and created a new Solaris install and the default RAM was 540 MB and not 512! It looks like the latest version of VMWare Fusion actually does what I suggested.

I've been hearing about VMWare for ages and decided to install Solaris 10 X86 to keep my UNIX skills up without the hassle and cost of another box. Also wanted to see VMWare in action for myself. What followed was hours of frustration as the installs kepts freezing up at various places. I was susccesful a couple of times, but only with the user only install which was inadequate for my purposes. Finally found your page, kicked up the memory and voila...worked like a charm. I'm grateful but a also a little PO'd at the VMWare folks. You'd think that if the recommended states 512..then hey, it would only require 512...Hah...silly me! Like you said, had I anything to do with it, I'd have an option for the program to set memory require to match...well.... reality...again, silly me. Anyway thanks for th heads up. Works fine now.
