Thanks for the info chaps.
I have just tested out VMWare GSX but it does not allow stand alone booting;
it requires an operating system to host it before it can do anything. I was
hoping to find something which doesn't rely on any particular OS.
In my case I am likely to be running various different versions of Windows.
Does the Sun Virtual Box which you have mentioned allow booting to a virtual
OS without the requirement to have a host OS?
Thanks,
Nick
