Thanks for making me look deeper. I had originally looked at the list of supported guest OS's, didn't see OS/2 there, and assumed the worst. When I saw your email, I searched the vmware.com site for OS/2, looking for the official "no such thing" statement to include in my reply. I did find some discussions on their forums about people who had succeeded. OS/2 is apparently not officially supported, but there are undocumented parameters in the VMX file like... GuestOS = "os2experimental" It looks like it can be done, depending on the phase of the moon, etc. This could be interesting. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://techsec.blog.ca -- [email protected] mailing list
