Yeah, I can try that sometime soon.

BTW, you can copy the files from ~/.gvm to an mmc card to back up the GVM memory image and icon desktop. Copying those files back will recover things if it decides to reset itself. That saves a lot of time. I have something like 30 games and apps installed on my GVM now, and reinstalling those one at a time got really really old. Now I don't care if it resets.

I use mc (Midnight Commander) in osso xterm to copy the files; it seems to work very well under OS2006, anyway, and is even stylus-friendly (common file operations and pulldowns can be done in the mc port with the stylus directly).



The above screenshot appears to predate my GVM installation, though. Heh. It's there now. Really!
