This belongs on the wiki, I can paste it in there if you wish, better still if you do it (as you will get the credit for your work then). I don't have that windows os here but it would be interesting to try working pskmail this way, it looks very easy. 73 de Per, sm0rwo lör 2007-01-13 klockan 20:24 -0600 skrev Rich Hudgins: > Sure > To run any .iso image off the hard drive you download the vmware > player [1] below, and install it.
