Download automatix from http://getautomatix.com The newest version allows you to do a single-click installation of Virtualbox onto current versions of Ubuntu (eg Eft), yet another open sourced virtualization program. And yes, it does run XP and definitely Vista too, with minimal performance penalties. I even allows remote USB access from virtual guest systems. Works fine (though I haven't tested it with Vista, haven't got it and see no point whatsoever in even looking at it) Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
