Well, I've tested it and now have my good old OS/2 back working, including nfs network! But I have that on my notebook - because Parallels doesn't configure on a 64 bit machine at the time. I also got news of a new Win4lin Pro version (Win4Lin uses qemu), and they are promoting their software. Also not that while some sell every release (vmware and, it seems, parallels have you pay every *.x release - Win4lin users have acces to every release since 1.0, maybe because it never workes properly ;) Well, the fact that their machine runs OS/2 geot parallels my money... brings back a lot of feelings :) Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity.
