You missed a step, wherein you create a root filesystem (a single file) out of each of those partitions for UML to use. So you only need one partition which you can reuse for each new installation. > I work for a mostly-M$ shop, which happens to have an MSDN site license, and > so Connectix is free to me (funny how M$'s M&As can work for you...).

A nice loophole we have here. I can't decide whether I admire MS or pity you. It certainly reminds me of the drugs analogy, where the first few are free, and for the rest, you pay through the nose or give up the habit. What exactly does connectix do? is there a free software alternative?
