I installed VMWare player on my fc5 machine, and you'll also need to run this: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz I then copied the Virtual Machine over to my linux box and opened it with vmplayer. I did have to massage some settings in the vmx file to get usb, sound, and the cdrom to work. I just googled for that information. HTH, James
