it does get the USB device, it only has USB1 support right now - and no firewire. I'm not saying VMWare is a lost cause if you need USB support, but you should do further research if USB is important to your Windows usage.

Makes sense. Well I never wrote a HOWTO, but I can give you vague

I've installed win4lin on very old suse, rhat, mandrake and debian - all
by 'manually' applying kernel patches, which was a first for me - thats
