    Anyone use VirtualPC on a Mac?

    I use it mainly for distros that I just want to test or experiment with.

    For some reason, it doesn't allow me to capture a DVD image.
    CD images are fine, but if I have an ISO of an install DVD it's grayed out in the open file window.
    It's aggrevating.
    Especially when an installation requires several CD images to complete.
    Sometimes the install is halted upon prompting for the next disc and won't continue no matter what I do.

    Which is the case right now with Fedora9.
    Just wondered if everyone experiences this, or if I have to update VPC(discontinued)?

    I avoid VPC as much as possible since Microsoft bought them. When I do virtual machines on OS X I generally use either VirtualBox (free) or Parallels (not free).

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Unfortunately there's no PPC version of Virtual Box or Parallels and I'm still on a G5.
