I am wanting to try VMware to emulate XP and have a few questions for 
those who are using it.

Currently i am booting between , freebsd, redhat and XP. These OS's are 
already installed on their own native partitions. This is my first 
question, I want to use freebsd as my host OS for vmware: Can i tell 
vmware to use the already existing NTFS partition and ext3 "linux" 
partition like you can in wine or do i have to reinstall both linux and 
XP under vmware emulation?  I really don't want to reinstall XP and 
Redhat as they are all setup and running great.  If this is feasible 
please elaborate or point to reference material as the vmware guide 
suggest you have to install all the virtual hosts OS's under vmware 
emulation.

Memory: I have a athlon 1800+ with 256/ddr 2100 ram...is this enough to 
run all 3 OS's @ the same time, and if not what would be the recommended 
amount?


Thanks in advance for any help.

By the way is 4.7 release out? The reason i ask is because i see the 4.7 
dir on the ftp, but there is no disk 1 there is 2,3,4 but no 1. The 
first disk says 4.7rc2.....is this the first disk for the final 4.7 rel?
