As it's Father's Day I (mostly) get to do what I want, so one of today's items was to catch up on my reading. As luck would have it the July 2007 SYSADMIN Magazine has a special insert on Virtualization and July 2007 Linux Magazine has an article on VMware that are exactly what I was looking for. Wouldn't have otherwise found these until August or perhaps October. It should work exactly as I described previously and I won't need to reinstall WIndows. I have VMware Server installed per the article and a key registered, and then (re)discovered I did not originally finish installing everything for suse 10.2, so there are missing dependencies. That figures, since I lent all of the 10.2 discs to a friend, so it could be next Father's Day when I get the time to finish it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
