Don't know if anyone's interested, but I've converted the sage vmware image to run on virtualbox, and had it running both under Ubuntu and Mac hosts a while ago.
The steps I followed (apologies if it's wrong, I just scribbled it down as I was doing it, so may have left something) 1. Import the vmware disks into virtualbox, using the virtualbox media manager. Import both disks - disk.vmdk and swap.vmdk 2. Create a new ubuntu virtual machine and assign the new disks (disk.vmdk as primary master, swap.vmdk as primary slave) 3. Boot the virtual machine, click Esc to get to the grub menu, edit configuration (clicking 'e'), change sda1 to hda1 on the line that says kernel /boot/vmlinuz... root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet ... press enter, then click 'b' to boot 4. The virtual sage machine should load. After it does, log in with user: manage; sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst - change sda1 to hda1 and save 5. For networking, find out the Virtualbox MAC address for the interface, then edit the first line mac on /etc/iftab 6. reboot Yoav On Aug 12, 7:58 pm, Harald Schilly <harald.schi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Aug 12, 8:04 pm, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > At this point VirtualBox is like a massive breath of fresh air > > compared tovmware.... > > ... and don't forget, virtualbox has a python API.
