Let me explain a little about my setup here. I have a p4, 1.7ghz with 256M ram and a 40 GB drive. I have windows xp home preinstalled, hard drive is partitioned as ntfs5, and is one big partition. I did not want to redo everything and I did not know if I just could rip apart a ntfs5 partition with partition magic with out the ntfs5 fs complaining. So here is what I did, I went to http://www.vmware.com and grabbed the latest version of vmware workstation 3.1 for windows. I have installed Debian woody Linux inside that virtual machine and am using a braille N speak as my synthesizer. Sometimes the speech seems really sluggish, is there a good way to enter speech box mode? What should my handshaking be set to? I think the vmware solution is pretty cool as I can work on apache and just press alt control enter and check on the status in my ie window.. I have Linux doing nat for my actual win xp box and my 2k pro box.. it works good. I just put the adapter in vmware in to bridged mode and give it my static dsl address and use ip_aliasing to give a private address and assign private addresses to my windows xp and 2k box.. I was wondering if anyone has this particular setup or has ever played with it at all.. and maybe could offer me some pointers. thanks, Patrick PS. What is so good about slackware then since it has no way to manage packages or remotely download needed dependencies or anything.. ------------------------- Patrick Turnage e-mail:pturnage at tampabay.rr.com Telephone: (850) 459-7717 HomePage: http://www.access-connect.com Amateur radio callsign:kg4dqk AOL Instant Messenger:kg4dqk icq:26862191 MSN:turnagep at hotmail.com Yahoo!:kg4dqk America Online:kg4dqk1129 kg4dqk1129 at aol.com
