Switching - Configuring VLAN?

To setup 2 switches with VLAN's 4 and 5 and link with a trunk in 802.1q mode, for example:

conf t 
vlan 4 name jim 
vlan 5 name claire 
int fa0/1 
switchport access vlan 4 
int fa0/2 
switchport access vlan 5 
int fa0/11 
switchport mode trunk 
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q 
exit
On older IOS:
vlan database   vlan 4 name jim   vlan 5 name claire   exit
To view VLAN's use "sh vlan".
note: In the example above if Switch 1 is in VTP server mode and switch 2 in client mode, the VLAN information shoud be transmitted on the trunk and appear on switch 2.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
