Dirk, I've never really understood why VMware insisted on this "stack of poker chips" approach to disk allocation.

If this is true I'm in serious trouble. I cannot connect to the VMware consoles for these machines (some sort of key snafu), so I'm unable to uninstall VMware Tools or do anything else inside a running Windows VM. Any thoughts on how to overcome my console access problem? I'm unable to connect via :8333. --Doc _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
