vmware

Hi, I install minix3 on vmware using installation CD i make using .iso image which is available @minix3 I make 2GB Harddisk, 512MB RAM on VMware, and installed step-by-step. It got installed and working fine. But i wana install 'packman' which is X window system. I'm not able to install it. It asks for installation CD, its still there and its detected also, but i couldn't proceed.

Actually i install minix to learn Operating system design and Implementation :)

Have any1 tried installing 'packman' i.e X window system on minix3. Please guide me. :)
