Very easy. VMware was a little more tricky as the product did not come with pre-compiled modules for FC1. Providing you have installed the kernel source code and a C compiler, the install script built the required files and installed the modules without problems. Just ignore the various warning messages coming from gcc and answer yes to the question about gcc being later than expected. Rumour has it that there is a new beta of VMware out there, but I have not found it yet so cannot comment. My system is happily run FC1, Win4Lin 5 & Vmware 4.0 side by side without any serious problems. The only minor problem I have seen is that the screen saver does not kick in once the VMware application has been started, but I can live with that. -- Alan D
