How long is this expected to take= =20 > :-) ? TIA & thx for everything so far .... If you are using a 64-bit build of XP the GUI should come up pretty fast. Installing XP will seem to take ages. :-) Trying to run a 32-bit XP on a 64-bit emulator won't work at all, IIRC. I think it won't even boot. Depending on which windows programs you need to run, there is a pre-built 32-bit Wine for AMD64 available in ports. That might run them faster because it's not a VM.
