My beta test expired before I could try VMWare version 5 for Linux on
FC4T1. It seemed to run the virtual MS programs better than through true
hardware. It does seem to be a great improvement over version 4.5 (Which

difficult task to change the FC3 host - MS guests to run again on XP
host -windows guest (change the floppy, serial and parallel port
settings from a pulldown from /dev/device to windows terms from pulldown
menus.)
There is a new vmware release candidate ... you might give it a try.
Thanks for the info. The beta for v5 quit working on March 15, so the
timing for the beta VMWare and the release of FC4T1 was a bit hard to try.
Dealing with hardware issues with a Linux host seemed to be easier for
me with VMWare on an FC3 host. I'd rather run the virtual machines in
this manner.
