If Virtual machine yes you could but you don't get the full processing power of the machine since you're using the host OS. if by w2k you mean dual boot, the above *should* work disclaimer: i never needed to do this since i do not use Windows. -- (o< Thierry Sayegh de Bellis, RHCE //\ http://glossolalie.com V_/_ Fingerprint: 9976 11FE D9C6 8C67 6242 7BB1 6466 3F1D 56ED 7D5A -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Sorry, Virtual Machine ie VMware or something like it. I'm actually close to being in the same boat. Currently a dual booter and very close to ditching my XP altogether. 2 things are stopping me: World of Warcraft and Native Instruments Traktor. I'm setting up a Win2K VM lab over the weekend to see if I can run these apps in the VM environment. -- Moif Murphy
