You can use either Linux or NT/W2k/XP as the VMWare Host machine. You canot use Win9x as a VMWare host, so you'll need to use Linux. You _CAN_ run Win98 as a guest OS off a raw/local partition, but only on an IDE disk. -derek "Jerry Feldman" <gaf at blu.org> writes: > Just a quick VMWare question so I don't have to learn to read :-) > Given, Linux and Windows(9x) installed.
