Put the iso in some location that makes sense. Edit the properties of your vmware machine, and then select the cdrom. The options should let you change it from a physical drive (the default) to an iso, where you'll be required to point it to the specific file.
Got it. So far so good. I'm working my way through the install. What do I do when it asks for the second and third and fourth CDs?
Jeff,
Just go into the properties for the CD drive, and choose the next ISO. Keep doing that for each "CD" you have. It'll work just fine...
Thanks!

Or use the dvd iso and don't bother with changing CDs. Installing from an .iso image is definately the way to go for VMWare.

Or, download the isos to a directory exported via NFS, boot your first disk with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, then install from the NFS location. That works the same with or without vmware as long as you have a network.
