Hi,

Since I assume I cannot install VM Add-on to VPC Redhat
9, how could I share a folder in my host XP to Redhat?

Thanks,
Andy

Google on Samba.

Sadly there are no add-ons for non-MS operating systems. That means that
you can't do folder sharing via VPC, and also mouse control is often not
very good. MS probably won't release the add-ons for Linux (shame they
don't open source the Windows add-ons and enable Linux users to clone
it).
