[ale] VMware and RH5.2

This fixes all problems with vmware-wizard.  If you do not have
a fast processor it will run very slow.  I have been able to
run FreeBSD 2.2.6 and Win98 under vmware.  My PC is too slow
to run Solaris 2.5 and would not boot up OpenBSD.  I have not
tried NetBSD.  They state you can not run SCO or UnixWare.  Hope
this info helps.

It seems that when the guest OS is idle vmware runs around 95%
of CPU time on the host OS.  I hope the final product does not
do this.

Please email me your comments on vmware.

This is the same error I get when I try to run VMWare.  I, too
would
consider it a great boon if someone could enlighten me on this
issue.  I
really wanna run that VM stuff.
