| 209037 | 2004-01-21 20:00:00 | Has anyone else out there used MS Virtiual PC 2004? I am currently exploring it by installing RedHat9 into it with WinXP as the host. Install times are VERY slow - a complete install of 4.8G took 6 hours 50 min and a 1.2G install took 1:22. Normally a full install on a typical PC takes about 1:20. VMWare installs in normal time - any ideas why it is slo slow? JohnD |

| 209041 | 2004-01-21 20:57:00 | Worse to come - the installation insists the video card is S3 Trio when it is Riva TNT2. Won't configure with the real card and X is crap (unusuable) with the Trio. Also no USB pen drive going. All this is for a classroom where my network manager wants to use virtual machines this year instead of dual booting. I need access to the Linux install with a pendrive - VMWare doesn't seem to want to do this either. |

| 209042 | 2004-01-22 04:06:00 | Ive had a look aorund VMWare a while back, and you've gotta specifically set it up in the Host system, then use it like a mapped network drive IIRC.... | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
