Hi Mark Sorry for the delay in replying. Life gets in the way at times :=) I did the same as Loyal and have had no problems. I did, at first, try VirtualBox.ose but for some reason couldn't install the Additions. So I went to the Sun site and installed the then latest version and it works flawlessly. Just installed v6.0 (Felicia) on my Thinkpad and it works well. I'll give it a trial for a week and, if there are no problems, I'll install on my Desktop. One thing I did find out was that it a distinct advantage to have a separate Home partition. It makes installing an upgrade or, indeed, another distribution, so much easier. Just remember not to format that partition. Zed -- zed ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
