tlug: A couple of VmWare observations

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  Just a quick word on a vmware problem and its solution:

  The problem is that sometimes vmware just doesn't do anything when
you try to 'power on' the virtual machine.  None of the usually
informative error messages - just nothing.  

  I found that tinkering with the memory size in the Configuration
Settings can fix this problem.  I haven't looked at it exhaustively,
but neither Win98J nor WinNT will start with, say 41Mbytes of memory.
They seem to require an even 32 or 64.

  Just tried the Lignux->Win and Win->Lignux cut&paste this morning.
Seems to work very smoothly, just using the native methods on either end.
Am I missing something, though, or is there no way to move whole files
back and forth except via floppy (I mean when running on a virtual, not
a raw disk, of course)?
