[openbeos] Re: Running BeOS 5 Pro under VmWare 2.0/3.0

It doesn't matter any more. After watching VmWare 3 crash with RedHat 7.2, I
took it off. I then reinstalled RedHat and freed up 2G of disk space for BeOS.
I've got a system that boots Win2K, WinMe, RH 7.2, and BeOS 5 Pro. Grub is the
bootloader. I work in Win2K and move stuff back and forth for testing as
needed. That was two days ago.
