If that's needed it somewhat conflicts with the idea for running things 
in virtual machines for added security :-( I thought that was a 
non-issue with 2.6.18, but I may be wrong.

Hopefully doesn't have to be. Having all projects in a single place just 
begs for name clash and visibility exposure issues. The browse didn't 
have any trouble finding the file, at minimum probably a bug if it 
allows me to select a file I can't use.

Thanks for the ideas, I was hoping to use xen instead of VMware, but 
when I did a project a few years ago I don't recall it being 
particularly inflexible.

I'll try just moving the disk image file and running with that.

Again, many thanks.
