Thanks for the info. The beta for v5 quit working on March 15, so the 
timing for the beta VMWare and the release of FC4T1 was a bit hard to try.
Dealing with hardware issues with a Linux host seemed to be easier for 
me with VMWare on an FC3 host. I'd rather run the virtual machines in 
this manner.
