Not sure exactly how QEMU works - haven't had time, but under a VMware - XP setup I just ran samba on debian, shared a path and went over to windows to use the share under network neighborhood. Then you can copy files back and forth very easily. I haven't had any trouble with this setup yet. HTH, Scott Lair -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
