It is no longer a live file system with a persistence overlay All I am doing is copying the 8 resulting files: nvram Soas-v3-Mirabelle.log ''Soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmdk <- Use this file Soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmsd Soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmx Soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmxf Soas-v3-Mirabelle-s001.vmdk Soas-v3-Mirabelle-s002.vmdk Soas-v3-Mirabelle-s003.vmdk on the 4 GB 2nd USB and running them from there with either VMPlayer or VirtualBox 3.2 for OSX or Ubuntu The common interface is provided by the virtual host. (Note: this also works for Windoz XP Pro.: It does not need to be re-authorized as it senses no change when run on another OS and/or PC due to t6he common interface provided by the virtual host.) Please test it really works well. Tom Gilliard satellit <blockquote cite="mid:20101125012449.GB16064@us.netrek.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Yes.
