Good ideas. I have Virtualbox on my desktop (Lucid, x86_64). The VMs are about 9 GB, so it wouldn't be too much trouble to copy them to the desktop. However, it seems doubtful that the problem is in the VM because there are two of them (Windows 2000 and Windows XP), and I get the same lockup with both. But still good ideas. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
