	I'm trying to install Darwin on VMWare fusion and it's giving me a lot of grief. I grabbed the Darwin 8.0 x86 binary from Apple's site. I created a new virtual machine, and then I had to remove the default virtual disk and create a new one using IDE instead of SCSI to get it to be recognized. The installer boots, but when it gets to the point of extracting the packages it throws "warning: error during extraction" for every single package. Any thoughts? Has anyone gotten Darwin working on Fusion?
