Giving up Windows?

[Gavin Hemphill]

Well, I'm writing this from a TIPowerbook with YDL 3.0.1, and OSX 10.3.3 
installed right now.  In fact I'm running MOL so this message is being 
sent from OSX running in YDL.  It works fine and I can do everything 
except run Virtual PC and burn DVD's (I'm too cheap to buy the DVD 
version of Xcdroast) in this configuration.  If I really need to run 
virtual PC (which has happened less and less as time goes on) I have to 
reboot into OSX before I can do it.  Samuel Rydh (the developer of MOL) 
is toying with the idea of adding the the required ability to MOL to 
allow VPC to run but it hasn't happened yet.  You do nee lots of disk 
space though.  I've got an internal 80 Gig partitioned up to give 20 Gig 
to YDL and 60 or so to OSX.  I've also got an external 240Gig firewire 
partitioned up to give another 80 Gig to YDL (with a bootable install of 
YDL on it) and the rest to OSX.  I'm running samba on YDL and have my 
own windows domain set up for the windoze boxes in the house.
