    2 QUESTIONS:

    Do I need an actual floppy drive in order to install Windows 98 and/or create virtual machines?"
    (I get to a point where it says the machine is going to reboot when I hit enter, I hit enter and it errors "no operating system is installed" [or some such])

    Also, since I am struggling to get this to work, I am creating multiple Virtual Machines; do they take up space on my actual hard drive? Are we talkin' kilos, megs, gigs?

    cheers

    What is your host OS?

    When you create a VM, one question asked in the process, is what size would you like the virtual hard disk to be. The virtual hard is actually a file on the host OS hard disk, equivelant to the size of the virtual hard disk you created during the install process.

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.9.

    I haven't figured out how to delete the virtual hard disks. Any clues?
