I use Win4Lin for vitualization The image of our Win98SE session including Pracsoft and medibase was some 120MB Win4Lin software incl. kernal patch is less than 10 MB. All data of course is handled by Firebird (Interbase) server running on Linux, and Pracsoft data was stored on a SAMBA Linux server - hence the small image containing only rudimentary OS with bare applications Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
