I was hoping someone else would speak up and correct you, but this hasn't happened yet. Ed, YOU are WRONG. This can be done. I've been using raw disk vmware setups with VMWare on dual-boot systems for years. It looks like their documentation for 4.x is hidden now, but it's still there: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws4/doc/disks_dualboot_ws.html#1046312 There are known issues with certain configurations, and it only supports IDE disks, but it WORKS. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
