VMware is a good way to go, whether it's the best is open to debate. While you can run it from a physical partition, trying to use an existing install may cause problems. At the very least you'll need to re-activate is with MS because it is now running on a different computer (the virtual one). > * app-emulation/vmware-workstation > Available versions: 4.5.3.19414-r7 5.5.5.56455 ~6.0.1.55017!f > ~6.0.2.59824!f > > ... when I downloaded the evaluation license and a tar.gz, does that > satisfy the "!f", for example?

Put the one you have in $DISTDIR and use the -v option with emerge. If it shows a 0KB download, you know you have the right file. -- Neil Bothwick "I am a Cub Ranger. We dib dib dib for the One.
