Just to point out though, that the first query did seem like an elementary one that could have easily been solved--the onus, in this case, is probably on the OP, but at any rate.... > > VMware on the best machine you have and run the OS in question as a guest.

Aha---have you tried the latest VMwareplayer? It seems to be their replacement for the old VMwareserver. It now enables you to install an O/S, so these days, I'm recommending it over VMware server--like you (and most people), I greatly dislike the 2.x way of doing things. There is also the lighter, and at this point, probably less feature-ful VirtualBox, of course. However, VMwareplayer, like the old VMware server (that is, 1.x) allows you to install a wide variety of systems. Also, as was said above, you can often find a prebuilt image. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Oz: We survived.
