That's a really dumb idea. Your FAT slice will have Windows preconfigured for your system on it. If you boot it under VMware, it will have a seizure and so badly reconfigure itself that it'll never boot native again. If you need Windows, you will need more than 500MB of disk, and you might as well run it native. > 4.0 is apparently struggling to life on laptops but its still a bit dodgy > I hear. I'm hoping to get first hand experience of this soon :-) It's running just fine and dandy (he says, having been running it ever since it branched). I don't understand all the whining, really. 8) -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
