Sorry I didn't get to this sooner but I'm at home where I only have a slow 
dialup connection.  Even a small 5 meg. download can take painfully long to 
get.  On the QEMU front I finally figured out how to boot a live Linux CD to 
run in QEMU.  I have found a few Live CDs that wouldn't run on my PC natively 
but will load and run in QEMU.  Figure that out.  If I ever get the courage I 
may try to load and run Windows 95 in QEMU and maybe even XP Home.  What 
worries me is the Autoplay function in XP which may try to execute the Win. 
95 CD native and mess up my hard drive (can't afford that).  Maybe there is a 
way to turn off Autoplay, anyone know?
