So if you ever wanted to run C:::B in a virtual Linux environment under Windows or via versa - you can do this from now on... ;-)

where it starts getting slow is 5 levels of virtualization :P
I ran it like this(from top level being my actual pc)
1.windows xp /w intel celeron@1.3ghz and 512mb
2.windows 2k with 300mb of ram -install time:2 hours
3.windows 2k with 150mb of ram -install time:4 hours
4. windows 2k with 64mb of ram -install time:7 hours(ran overnight the last part)
5. dos 6.22 with 5mb of ram -install time:like 30 minutes just to boot the bootdisk!

yes in dos I would like type a character and oh say 20 seconds later it would show up and you don't even want to know what happens when you try moving a window!
