What's wrong with your email? I got a bunch of HTML at the end? Anyway, VMWare is a special case. It's got hooks deep into the Linux network drivers that (as far as I know) are a showstopper that prevents VMWare from running under the Linuxulator. If you learn differently, I'd love to hear it, but it's not possible as far as I know. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
