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? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
