Being in an academic environment that is heavily dependent on MS products, I find I have to boot into Windows more often than I would like. I did not want to have to reboot each time, so VMWare is a necessity for me. I have it running on a RH 9 system. Specifics... Make: Dell Model: Latitude Cpt-C CPU: 400 MHz Celeron RAM: 512 Mb Disk: 6 Gb Kernel: 2.4.20-18.9 VMware: WS 4.0, Build 4460 Initially, I had a lot of problems with the original kernels. VMware installed and ran, but the guest boot up process was really slow. The latest kernel works perfectly. Carey -- ====================================================================== <> Carey F.
