I think it may be easier on you if you use something like qemu: not only would not really need another machine, you can <br>switch back and forth betwixt FreeVMS and documentation. Besides, I'm not sure how ready FreeVMS is to go on _most_
<br>actual hardware; someone else on the list would be better equiped to answer that.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Gregory Nutt</b> <<a href="mailto:spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr">

</a><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without saying and is "contructive and<br>radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the
<br>problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God <br>is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional
<br>forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency<br>which would debase the entire value of being born."<br> -- Albert Camus, L'Homme révolté
