Hi, Is there any reason why you don't want to do a multiboot setup? It works fine with XP, Linux, Win98, etc. You'll probably find it a lot easier and more stable that way. Also, I had no problem with Window-Eyes and VMWare but I would recommend Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. VPC only runs on XP Pro though and I think so does VMWare. There is an emulator called Bochs but I didn't have much luck with it. alex wallis wrote: > I'm wanting to get set up with a linux OS, but I don't really want to go > down the route of jewel boot, and I don't have enough resources to run linux > under vmware. >
