From what I understand, vmware uses some driver > that loads into the kernel to do things. I tried 2.2.6-STABLE, it worked, but there was not network driver for for their NIC. Now actually running NT 4.0 SP4, SunOS 5.6 and FreeBSD under Linux-2.2.3, 512 MB and Matrox 16 MB all at the same time :-) My machine's now _VERY_ slow, but it's working quite nice. BTW: I stressed NT with illegal calls to kernel.dll and it didn't BSODd... I was impressed - a normal Workstation did crash all the time doin' that test... Rock Solid NT? ;-) Markus Doehr IT Admin AUBI Baubeschlaege GmbH doehrm@aubi.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
