Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

In Virtual PC 2007 beta, when creating custom machine, I could not change the memory from 0 Mb. This can easily be done manually in the config file after creating it. The issue with sound I haven't verified to be 10.2 Alpha 5 only issue or Virtual PC issue.Virtual PC is available from here for free. --Pflodo

WARNING: With newer Linux kernels, your mouse will not work. Workaround: add "i8042.noloop" as a kernel boot parameter.

Sound Blaster 16 must be manually installed via Yast, it is not auto-detected.
