Hi Kwan,

Wow, this really is bad!

re:

> located?

I created a folder named C:\VMware and put all of my virtual machine
images under it.  Where your image would be found would have been
up to you when you first setup VMware Player, but it is most likely
that it would have been somewhere on your C: drive.

re:
> Did you update/upgrade CentOS since a couple of years ago?

I keep my CentOS VM up to date by letting 'yum update' run as 'root'
inside of the VM.  This setup, by the way, is the default, so you
would have had to turn it off to stop it.

re:
> Thanks again,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
