Or, before using the VM elsewhere, you need to use a partition cloning utility to "save" that partition and recreate it on the new host machine, which is just too troublesome to be worth it.<BR/><BR/>Using Virtual Disks, you're in fact creating a whole Disk inside a file, or, inside a few 2 GB files. All you need to get up and running on another machine is to backup that whole VM directory including those 2 GB files. Then simply install the player on a new host and copy those files to any directory of your choice and launch the VM.<BR/><BR/>Performance, in VMWare, does not suffer noticeably from using Virtual Disks and you gain a lot in flexibility.<BR/><BR/>As for <A HREF="http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/" REL="nofollow">Steve Trefethen's Blog</A>, it's where I got my inspiration for the continuous build setting!

Looking forward to see some advanced usage of SVN.<BR/>And now one question: How to create Virtual disk and why this way is preferable.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>http://delphigeek.blogspot.comiSkomorokhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743314682753545265noreply@blogger.com
