Unfortunately most the open ones like Xen or qemu require some heavy changes to the client OS which just isn't going to happen for RHL or early FC. FC5 and later can use anaconda to install into a Xen session, so when we pick up those Xen can easily be used to test stuff, just not yet. > > Maybe an unofficial HOWTO on how to setup a vmware host is the best? > > Yes.

If I'm wrong, then I would understand your > concern. I guess maybe Jesse can clarify what he meant by "image". In this case, the image would be the file that vmplayer software can use. I don't think the image file would be useful to any other software. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
