My brother's 1Ghz iBook G4's hard drive is running out of space and we
bought &bulit an external 200GB USB 2.0 HardDrive. My question is: Can
he moving the Virtual PC 6's "Virtual PC List" items or the folder
contents to the external USB 2.0 HardDrive? Or must it remain in his
internal Drive in the his User Folder within his Documents Folder?

His specs:
12inch 1Ghz iBook G4
512MB Ram
40GB OEM Apple Internal HD
200GB SeaGate HD in CompUSA USB2.0 External HD Enclosure
Mac OSX Panther 10.3.9 with all the latest patches& updates

You can move the virtual machines to the external drive but you must
create aliases for each and place them in the original Virtual PC List
folder

Finder aliases or must they be UNIX soft-links?

a Finder alias.

Simply control click on the virtual machine, select 'Make Alias' and
then move the alias to the Virtual PC List folder
