    hi all,

    just wanted to add a success story

    I juat upgraded from 3.0,
    +upgraded an existing 3.0 windows XP guest + new parallels tools
    +installed a new fedora 9 plus parallels linux tools

    i got quite a few warnings along the way but i just kept going with reboot after reboot and it worked in the end.

    i did go to runlevel 3 to get a yum update to get latest packages for all the defaults.
    then i manually mounted the parallels tools in command line mode AFTER doing the yum upgrade
    this failed twice but did get me full X on the 3rd attempt.

    i did up the video RAM to 16 from the default 3.

    no benchmarks to prove it but the 4.0 does feel faster to me.

    good luck with it and fire me any questions if you think i can help.
