virtualisation woe

Based on a tip by Justin, I spent the afternoon trying to get Parallels 2.1 to work under Suse Linux. It is OS virtualisation software that runs off of Linux, Windows or Intel OS X.

It installed okay via rpm and tgz but when it came to configuring it, the driver compile section would always fail and an error log file created. I studied the output and was able to change it by fixing minor issues but it looks like there are more complicated things going on. No help in Google of course. Seems to be something to do with a patched kernel.

Tomorrow Justin will have a go on his Windows box to see if he can virtualise linux. Hope he has more luck. In the meantime I will ponder Super Gamer 1 (thanks Andrew)
