VMWare resumed the Win98 install just fine and it completed with no problems
though its a little slow but very usable. I've got a Celeron 500 with 192
MB. I also installed LM 7.1 into another VM and it works great too. It'll
give me a chance to fool around with patching the kernel to try and get
Win4Lin running on LM 7.1 without hosing my base install of LM 7.1.
Supposedly Win4Lin will run Windows on Linux a lot faster than VMWare. All
in all VMWare is a very cool program. Even if I get Win4Lin working I'll
keep VMWare around for testing new distro's, kernel patching, etc.
