More on Pagestream Linux on MAC0SX-Parallels

The single biggest problem is that on the MACBookPro we have the
Ubuntu linux installed fine but could not find the USB thumb drive and to
date we have not figured out how to transfer files between the linux
boot and the mac osx boot other than by e-mailing them to ourselves
via the isp we are hooked up to (or burn them to a cd).

This is a parallels problem not a pagestream problem.

I also think I need more than 1/2 Gig of memory in the MACBookPro.

If running Windows in Parallels they have a "tools" that allows you to share
folders between the "windows" os and the mac os. I don't recall, but maybe
they provide "tools" for linux as well?

Even if they don't, there is a network interface for the guest OS and you
should be able to do file sharing that way. I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, but
for my SuSE boxes I just set up NFS, the only catch to working with macs is
you have to specify the "insecure" option for the NFS share. You can then
connect to the share using ... I forget the menu path in Finder, but with
Finder active the shortcut is Apple-K (yeah, I use it a bit).

Unfortunately not (at present)....
