Yes.

Yep.  The smaller the better.

You guys go to it!  I'll sit back and reap the benefits...  That is
if I can get vmplayer to work for me at all.

It appears that I might have to reboot to get the latest kernel
running as the kernel sources on disk are newer than my running
kernel.  The vmplayer configuration program is upset about that.  I
don't want to reboot just for that 'cuz it'll mess up my stats for
the long-running Xastir instance.  I want to make at least 200 days,
maybe 300 or 365.  Linux uptime:  297 days.  Xastir uptime:  176
days.

Maybe I'll have to throw the player on the laptop to play once we
have something to try.  I know I can't download any of that stuff at
home.  Am on dialup there so megabytes = impossibility.
