Hi Jorge,
The person who I owe a lot to, here, is Mike Arrigo. He did 13 podcasts about
the mac, one of which was about fusion. And that was so clear, and so complete,
that it took me less than a day to get going. Mike, great job, for many of us.

I'm wondering if there is a way to look up known issues on the Apple site,

Unfortunately running Fusion means you need share the 2GB between both
