You need a host with a lot of RAM. I don't think it would be helpful for me to give precise instructions, since I have forgotten a lot of details and my software may be different from yours. It's better to refer you to the document I got the instructions from: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws4/doc/devices_serial_ws.html See the section, Connecting Two Virtual Machines, Linux Host. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
