I haven't tweeked VMware yet but with only 64megs assigned to it on a 500mhz machine, it's pretty clunky in terms of performance. Still might do what I need to run a word processor though :-) Just talking out loud, my big problem right now if figuring out how to get files into/out of it. My understanding was that there's some sort of 'super-Samba' that's supposed to be running to allow dragging files but it sure doesn't work here. I have been able to mount the *.dsk using vmware-mount and it looks like I can copy from it to a Linux directory but I can't go the other way around. I'd sure like to spend one day NOT doing something to make all this stuff run :-) Cheers --- Larry
