ya i know what gnutella is, the network itself is what i was referring to. I have tried quite a few clients, gtk-gnutella, lime-wire, bearshare in windoze, and like 2 others i think that i cant remember.

Also i have an 8 gig partition on my disk that i use for mp3's is there a way to have VMware see that partition as an extra drive and write to it and have it mounted in linux so i can play my MP3's? i need it to do that because i use KaZaa to download my mp3's(the spyware free version) and havent been able to get it to work in wine =/ Thanks in advance for any help. > > > > > > > > BoBB > > > > ________________________________________________ > > > > See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail. > > > > > > > > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > > > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > > > > > > > > VMWare will read your real partition and use it.
