It seems to me that VMware PLayer cannot do what I hoped to do. I want to run Streetsmart Pro on my Gentoo machine, if possible. However there isn't going to be a prebuilt copy of SSP ready to run in the player. It appears that to even try it I'd have to run the workstation. Thanks to all for your help. It's an interesting topic to me. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
