[ale] VMWare General Question

[Nomad the Wanderer]

3 Things,
  This is Linux ralated since it makes running 98 easier.  My boss is 
giving up on converting me to 98 since in worste case scenario I can
run in a window now, and I don't have to reboot... :>

  The vmware-tools on their site includes custom drivers for 98 which
lets you do higher resolutions.  My runs 1280x1024x16M.  

  They also have custom versions of XF86 and the patch to make your
own.  i didn't want to custom compile since it usually fails for me
so I mailed them to see if they had a S3V version.  They didn't so
they made one and asked me to test it.  It's working beatefully.

  If you have questions on cutom drivers, etc, ask them.  They're
very helpful.
