A few days later, I tried needing to use it immediately, of course :) vmware, and it failed. Both my linux and windows installations fail. There is no /dev/vmnet*, and I find fac13ttyp1:hawk>ls -l /compat/linux/dev/v vmmon% vmnet1% I'm at a loss here, and desparately need help. hawk -- What part of "non-negotiable" didn't you understand? /"\ ASCII ribbon campaign dochawk@psu.edu Smeal 178 (814) 375-4700 \ / against HTML mail These opinions will not be those of X and postings.
