	I've been using it at work on my Intel Pentium II 350Mhz with 64MB=20
of RAM and 128MB of swap for over a week now using Debian as the host OS and
Windoze 98 as the guest OS rather than use a machine with Win98 install'd on
it... for some reason it just makes more sense to close the window when it=
=20
locks up (which Windoze is known to do) then be forced to reboot the machin=
e.
I've got VMware set to give the guestOS 60MB of memory along with access to
the floppy, cdrom and sound. It takes a lil longer to boot up but if I can
get a few more people in our development dept to use it (we plan the test
of runnin MS Visual C++ 6.x under VMware Win98 guestOS soon) then we're gon=
na
try and budget out some more memory for the machines as we have empty DIMM=
=20
slots to fill :)

	I'm not sure how to do this on startup of VMware... I just load the
app and pick run existing config and load my ~/vmware/win98/win98.cfg with =
no
problems. I do know there is the ~/.vmware directory but I'm not sure if th=
ere
is a config file that doesn't get created that can define the default config
to run.
