I got the install to work by forcing in the hwaccel off.  But then  
logging in as glenda to start setting things up just didn't get far  
enough to force in hwaccel off again.

I'd like to know if anyone has had any success with VMware ESX  
Server?  Yes yes... same old problem as all VMware kit, but when you  
can't get any other vm's in house you do with what you can.

And speaking of vm's... has anyone gotten qemu to work on OS X?  It  
installs very nicely but then there aren't any options for getting a  
middle button w/ key-click combinations--very difficult when running  
on a laptop.
