I didn't know it had an Integrated mode. I've seen Integrated mode with Parallels on a Mac and thought that was cool and thought it might be something useful for a Windows host too. I haven't messed with Linux in a while, but I've considered running it in a virtual machine rather than giving it its own partition, since I mainly use Windows. It seems like that might be a more convenient way to use Linux when I want/need to. Nightfox --- þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com .
