SUCCES! - a combination of the answers given in this thread led to succes. - Yes, I have 6 USB ports on my machine (DELL Precision M90), only the first two works. I figured out which was which by looking into /var/log/messages with #tail -f /var/log/messages while inserting the printers USB. The above mentioned mount command was then issued before starting VMware and - voila - I have USB support in my MS2003 session through vmware. - Thanks to all. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
