Well this old server has a 15G scsi harddrive so the three or four images that I might need should fit...... :-\

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, i wouldn't even attempt it without a gigabit network. I haven't tried it though... It's also recommended to keep VMWare images on a different drive, to spread the load a bit. And if using IDE drives, make sure DMA is turned on! One cool feature of vmware 4.x is snapshot. You take a snapshot of a running VM, the install/change/test whatever, and when you're done just 'revert to snapshot'. Everything returns to how it was pre-snapshot, without rebooting the VM or anything. It's pretty sweet. I used it the other day to test if a suspicious zip file that clamav didn't detect really was a virus. ray On Fri, 12 Mar 2004, Dustin Puryear wrote: > Wouldn't VMware be pretty slow if accessing its disk images over the > network?
