FreeBSD 6 runs fine _inside_ vmware -- as a virtual machine. I used it daily with almost no trouble (and the small amount of trouble is likely to be unrelated to vmware). I have never gotten vmware to run as a program under FreeBSD, i.e. using FreeBSD as the host for other vmware machines. I have tried several times. Technically, VMWare doesn't support it. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
