Regarding the newsgroup FAQ...

Hi all,

Over the past few days (well, it's been marinating the past few) I've come
up with a newsgroup FAQ solution. I wrote a program to automatically post
it, and I wrote, well, it :) Now I'm looking for some final opinions
regarding it. I've included a "test" post under my signature. Some things
I'm looking for feedback on:
1) Suggestions, what you like, what you dislike. "If you wrote the FAQ,
what would you do differently?"
2) How frequent would you want it posted? Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly? And
when, as-in, what time/day?
3) Anything else :)

Public vote wins. Just because an idea that was suggested wasn't used
doesn't mean it won't be kept in mind for the future, etc

And to start off, my vote for #2 is weekly on Sunday (12:01 AM?)

======================================

1. Where can I find more information on Virtual PC? - Added 8/3/2004

There are several websites with information about Virtual PC. These
include:
Robert Moir's VPC 2004 FAQ
(http://www.robertmoir.co.uk/win/VirtualPC2004FAQ.html)
Virtual PC Compatibility List (http://vpc.visualwin.com/)
Microsoft's VPC 2004 Site (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/)
And for VPC 5.2 (and some VPC 2004):
Steve Jain's VPC 5.2 Download Site
(http://www.essjae.com/VPC/virtual_pc_downloads.htm)

======================================

2. I have a question about Virtual Server 2005. - Added 8/3/2004

A quote from Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/evaluation/rceva
l.mspx):
Support Options
For all support needs and questions about this release candidate software,
please register at the Microsoft Beta Place
(https://www.betaplace.com/sign-in/signin.asp) Web site and use the Virtual
Server 2005 newsgroups.

======================================

3. When will the next Virtual PC be released? - Added 8/3/2004

Good question. Right now, that's unknown.

======================================

4. Are there "VPC Additions" for Linux? - Added 8/3/2004

No, there are only VPC Additions for some versions of MS-DOS, Windows, and
OS/2.

======================================

5. Does Virtual PC run Mac OS? Why not? - Added 8/3/2004

Mac OS runs on a Mac, which is not the same type of computer as one that
runs Windows. Macs use PowerPC processors where Windows computers use x86
processors. There is an effort to run Mac OS on an x86 called PearPC. Info
about PearPC can be found at their website (http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/).

======================================

6. How do I install < insert name of OS >? - Added 8/3/2004

The same way you would on a real PC. Most modern OSes can boot off of their
CD (or ISO image), but older OSes like Windows 95 and 98 usually require a
boot floppy. A good collection of boot floppies is available at
www.bootdisk.com.

======================================

7. Where can I ask Virtual PC for Mac questions? - Added 8/3/2004

In the newsgroup microsoft.public.mac.virtualpc. The
microsoft.public.virtualpc newsgroup is only for Virtual PC for Windows.

======================================

8. Why doesn't Virtual PC see my video card, NIC, or other device in my
virtual machine? My host sees it fine. - Added 8/3/2004

Virtual PC emulates a specific set of hardware regardless of your host.
Your host's CPU is not emulated, and your virtual hardware is listed under
"6.a.10" on
http://www.robertmoir.co.uk/win/vpcfaq/VPCFAQ6-InstallingGuestOS.html#6.a.10.

======================================

9. Please include details. - Added 8/13/2004

Please remember to post your Virtual PC version number, host operating
system & memory, CPU type, and guest operating system & memory (along with
anything else that may be important to answering your question). Without
information like this, it may be difficult (or impossible) to answer your
question.

10. About this post. - Added 8/18/2004
