The "run from cd" booted up just fine in MS Virtual Server 2005. I
never got round to installing it fully though. If I remember
correctly, I started an install once, but had to turn off disk dma and
then the formatting of a small venti (~3-4GB) took more than two
hours, so I aborted. Got a "faster" machine now, so maybe I'll try
that again.
