Have you considered forgetting about VMWare entirely and using a Dual-Boot setup instead? --> Unfortunately, dual booting is not an option. As I mentioned in my original message, I have to be both comfortable and productive on Linux before I can install on my physical drive. I've seen too many issues with XP and FC3 being on the same drive and I cannot afford to go down that road; especially since my income comes from the work I do on WinXP. Also, I am confident that I will end up learning things in FC3 and want to do a reinstall just to "redo it right" versus what I will do during my first install. R/S Ryan
