It is pretty amazing software, well worth US$100 if you have a need for it (like running IE5.0 on your Linux box?) Hoyt Do you know how they got VMWare to use the existing installation of NT? I'd like to do the same with Win98. You use the "raw disk" option to use an alreadt-install OS. I have used this with Win98 and it works fine and does not corrupt the regular Win98 installation. Hoyt

Can Win98 (or WinNT) inside the vm access anything on the Linux partition, or is it locked in? Alternately, can the Linux OS run samba and let the windows vm mount the samba share? MB -- Michael R.

It's do-able, as long as your Win98 installation is on an IDE drive (last I heard, it wouldn't work with SCSI partitions). -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Re: [newbie] Win/DOS Emulator - VMWare
Dan, we just discussed this issue in my local LUG. You may or should be able to telnet in to the NT session running in VMware either from another box or from an instance of Linux running on your machine. NT will require Samba to be set up to access a Ext2 file system. Should work just like two separate boxes either way. I would recommend reading a Samba HowTo as well as VMware HowTo. For specifics you may need to check with the VMware people. Brian -Original Message- From: Dan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Michael R.

Pardon me, but what is samba? Is it a program? At 10:50 AM 7/8/99 -0700, you wrote: "Michael R.
