the same as installing a dual-boot Win2K / Linux system. That is, there are some tricks re: NT issues, but it works fine. In other news, I can tell you for a fact that XP will install and boot its kernel inside a Vmware machine running under Linux.. but it b0rks when it goes into hardware setup, so it will not run. I hope that we have a Win2k / XP enabled version of Vmware coming soon.. that is one 'hardware environment' that never really changes ;) -.bill.layer.- -.those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking.- -.frogtown.- -.minnesota.- -.u.s.a.-
