That's not strictly accurate. You can go from FreeBSD to Microsoft Windows (and back again) without rebooting. (I can verify this from personal experience.) One way is to install VMWare via ports and then install Windows as a guest OS. (You need at least VMWare 3 to have Windows XP as a supported guest OS.) You can then run Windows inside a window when running X under FreeBSD. You can use Samba to access files on your FreeBSD FFS partitions from inside the Windows guest OS. (Alternatively, you can use scp/ftp to transfer files between the running VMWare and FreeBSD if you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up Samba on your FreeBSD system.) VMWare offers trialware license keys, so if you want to use this method of accessing Windows beyond the trial period you'll have to buy a full license. I've also heard people have had success running some Microsoft Windows applications under FreeBSD using WINE, but I've not tried that myself. To throw one more into the mix: Bochs is another virtual machine ... developed open source and thus requiring no $$. It's been a while since I've worked with it, but I just checked freshports and it's apparently still under active development (the port was updated with a new version just today ... what kind of crazy nut is updating ports at 5:30 in the morning?) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD to Windows No Reboot
Is there a way I can go from FreeBSD to windows without rebooting? Also if I have an active serial line sl0, can i run hyper terminal in windows with that same line? And lastly, is there a hyperterminal program in FreeBSD and do i have to turn off the SLIP sl0 for it to run properly? Basically I have a PIC 16F819, it will respond to a character and display an array. Im trying to collect the packet that is sent for an HTML request and display what the PIC itself received. I have already seen the tcpdump/tcpshow packets. This will help me decode the TCP and my C++ code in my PIC. Thanks in advance. Bryan Maxwell - Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
