1.Installing VMware
● VMware setup file:
● Run the setup file:
After restarting the computer:
We can check VMWare icon on Desktop:
You can also see install folder according to the installation directory.
2. Setup the Fedora 11 on the VMware
● Preparation: A folder that will store all needed file of the Fedora on a disk that
remains greater than 10 GB empty space:
● Start-up the VM to install the Fedora:
First, click the icon on the desktop
Choose create a New Virtual Machine
Change Virtual machine name to your name (in this case, it’s my name)
Adjust maximum disk size to 20GB and choose to split virtual disk into multiple files.
Click on Customize Hardware:
Then import the ISO image file.
Click OK.
If you choose the Power on this virtual machine after creation then click the Finish
button: The virtual machine will be created and it starts immediately and then the
Fedora will be installed.
However, this tutorial wants you to power on the machine manually after it is created.
So, do not choose the “Power on this virtual machine after creation” option. Click
finish button.
Can you see the virtual machine that you created? Choose to play a virtual
machine.
Choose install to Hard Drive.
Then click Begin Installation
Click Start set up and then create an account and password.
All things are ready for you to use.
Click Start using Fedora Linux to enjoy Fedora Linux.

Exercise: Create an object-oriented Project:
First, create a new C++ Managed build:
With .cpp files, you choose to create a Source file.
With .h files, you choose to create a Header file.
After creating and writing code as well as run the project, here is the:
