I thought of that, but I couldn't wrap my head around how to boot a VM off a real CD. I think if I shared the CD drive and held down some magic key that would have worked, but I didn't figure that out until after I already downloaded a freeware program to do it in Windows. I'm really liking this windows VM concept. SO much easier than a second laptop or rebooting. Almost makes me want to reclaim the Windows partition of my main laptop for Linux, but I know if I do that there will be something I can't do in XP that I'll need Vista for. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
