Read the docs at the vmware site. They discuss using hardware profiles in windows to keep resources separate for when you boot win98 straight or when you're booting it inside a vmware virtual machine. Read about booting an OS from a prexisting partition as opposed to the standard 'virtual partition' (file).
I tried vmware a while back and had good luck with this technique. It wasn't foolproof however as I did have to reinstall some drivers on the hardware profile for booting straight from lilo. Perhaps they've improved the process. After working out the kinks there were no surprises. I did however have some difficulty with the networking as utilized by OSs running in virtual machines. There is a drawback, you have to select the hardware profile you want to use at boot time. Good luck! Jason On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Robert L.
