Re: Finally: Hebrew under VMware!



Hiya
Something is amiss here. VMWare guest OS'es
are installed on a file residing on the linux
fs, not on their own partition. This means that your
comment about being able to boot Win2k outside of VMWare
doesn't really apply - you'll still need to install it
twice if you want to use it twice.

However, Win2k will indeed fit on a 2GB partition and
have space left for Developer Studio and all that stuff
(as long as you don't install Office 2000 and you'll be fine :)
