It should install as on any other machine. Install an i586 or i686 build I |
| 8 |
would think. I'm not sure if you can use a 64 bit guest OS in a 32 bit |
| 9 |
vmware install, that would be worth looking into or at least testing. |

Yes, I think that would work out quite well, even if vmware-tools won't |
| 17 |
work for you (the only reason I thought to install it was because of a |
| 18 |
clock sync issue). |

It is usually pretty good at sharing, but doing tons of things in the |
| 25 |
guest and host OS at once can bog down the resources. The best thing I |
| 26 |
could say for that is take a break from the video work when you want to |
| 27 |
update world. :) |
