Re: VMWare Does It Again!

2014-09-20 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi Colin Correct. But as I indicated in a previous post, I can use Parallels too, once the VM is configured. My better half configured it all for me, and just put an alias on our desktop. And then, away we go. Of course, I am comparing Fusion with Parallels 10 which is the current release.

Matthew Your default format should be fine, so I’d suspect you changed something when you burned the DVD. What did you expect to happen when you inserted it into your MacBook Pro? Are you not able to see the volume you burned at all? Gordon On 20 Sep 2014, at 13:31, Matthew Chao wrote: Hi, F

SSH Via Terminal
