No, you don't modify your partitions or anything. You just run vmware, start a new VM, and then you basically have a 'new machine' in which to install what you want. I believe you have to allocate a certain amount of space for the 'virtual drive', just like you allocate RAM and which hardware to give the VM. One really slick thing you can do on a dual boot machine, is assign the raw partions to the VM. So on my notebook, I can use winxp to run my RH8 dual boot partition in a VM, say, to get web/php/mysql while I develop on my Homesite IDE. Then later I can boot into linux for real, and everything is all there and works the same. It's incredibly sexy.
