Not in the slightest. Feel free to forward my mails to Wolves LUG, the
SUSE mailing list, or anyone else that may be interested.

It's really quite useful, and very simple. If you need Windows and
Linux, it gives you a way to run both simultaneously without having to
reboot.

Sorry I haven't got back sooner.. I'm liking the virtual machine ideas..
Something I would really like to try but never got round to it (and it
always seemed to cost!).. But seems like it's moved to a better place now
:o)
About the posting to others.. Go for it! Russ.. Thank you for putting all
this excellent info onto the mailing list.. Would you mind if your posting
were transplanted onto the web site (I'm sure there's lots of people who
would be interested)
If you've already mentioned about putting it onto the website, sorry.. I'm
just sifting thru many many emails!!
