Hi David
(4) I have been able to get it to use my linux printer via Samba (Jaakko, you are welcome to have details of my setup if you want).
I believe that my samba setup is ok, as is works all the time. I think that the rare lost of the printer has something to do with win-98, and not samba.. When vmware/win-98 looses the printer, that printer is still visible for other computers (also vmware from my computer)... But this is so rare, that it does not make a difference :-) And I agree to all what You are saying. Vmware is a good emulator, except for gaming. But I believe any emulator is not ment for gaming, as games should be made native to that OS. "I once did a vnc-connection from win-98 to Linux, and vnc back again to win-98... I got really screwed up!" Jaska.
