Sounds like a nice shell script hack to me...  :)  Dunno if I've got time to
work on that, I have a presentation to give in 2 weeks, but I'll take a look
at the man pages.

Why can you only run 1 at a time?  I've got Win98 and WinNT4 running on this
box right now, and while it's pretty darn slow, they do run.  Disclaimer,
I've got 256MB of ram, and a k6-2 300.  If you've got more than that in both
departments, you're ok.  I run both VMware machines with 64MB of ram, and
processor is a huge bottleneck, mostly because of the poor design of Win98.
If you're running 2 NT machines processor shouldn't be so bad.  Oh, one
other thing, having FAST FAST FAST disks is imperative.  If you can get dual
U2W 10K RPM SCSI disks and run them on software RAID0, that should take disk
out as a limiting factor...

Methinks you should swap to probably the 10th virtual console.  That should
be a full-screen Windows session, then you can work on 2/3/4 for your "real"
work, leaving X running from the first console.  It'd be nice to have VMware
running without the X server completely, but I'll take what I can get, for
now.  If only they'd fixed all the bugs I reported before shipping 2.0...

Thanks Luke, every project should have such a clearly defined set of
instructions for reporting "bugs".
