I seem to recall this facet of the design being sold as a security feature. The scenario given was the entire nominal installed OS running inside a hostile VM which installed itself as part of some malware attack. So at boot, the virtualization stuff is disabled by default. Or something like that. FWIW, YMMV, I may be wrong, etc. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
