Back running this project as I saw you guys were asking for help as Russia are chasing.

I couldn't get DSL to work in VMware, however I did get server 2000 to go with 64MB of RAM.

Running 9 clones, so 10 in total in VMware. Plus one on my actual XP image, makes 11. My laptop is also running one, making a grand total of 12 instances.

Hope this helps
