I guess I was too concise in my questions. On 08/06/2010 03:18 PM, Arun Khan wrote:
Might this influence my path? Or am I overestimating what a virtualization system might do for me? Some other replies seem to imply that they can't run together without the "windowing under suse" feature enabled.
I don't understand what you mean by "windowing under suse" Although I have not done it - I believe It is possible to run a GUI desktop on a host OS in runlevel 3 with the VNC option in qemu-kvm.
Replies to questions in other threads have implied that Windows applications will run in windows in the host OS (suse, here). Not understanding any details yet, I asked if that was necessary (I'm in chapter 2 of the user manual, not having been able to get through any of the "easy how-to's"). What I want to do is let her run her Windows xp at the local terminal under the suse host without her having even to see suse in evidence. At the same time, I want to vpn from my laptop into the suse host and use the high-power resources on her computer for some of my work. I want to run the two OS's simultaneously and independently (from the user's perspective, of course -- I know xp depends upon suse/xen).
I take it that you have a dual boot system with XP and openSUSE? You can run XP in a VM with openSUSE has the host OS :)
Yes, both xp and suse are installed and running perfectly. Xen is installed in suse, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the two work together. Running xp simultaneously with suse is exactly what I want to do, as I spelled out above. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
