Here are the steps 1) Install vbox guest additions on the guest os 2) share a host machine folder. You can do this by clicking on Devices->Shared folder from running instance of guest OS window. 3) on guest os type folllowin in the terminal $> sudo mount -t vboxsf Where is the name you gave while creating the folder. You will be able to access the host machine folder based on the permissions selected during the creation of shared folder. regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I dont know about 'paid' part but we are doing this since last century. In free time installing linux or fixing problems for free.Linux is a community software and best support will come from the community itself. Most of the support is a phone call away :) regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I am pretty sure there are many individual freelancers around who are capable enough to provide support in free hours , but may think opening a dedicated firm is not a feasible idea due to various reasons. I am willing to take an initiative to start a support firm if there is enough interest. I am based in Chennai as off now, but if there are enough people interested in putting a collaborated team effort, a nationwide organiztion is certainly a possibility.

[snip] okay, so after one week of discussions on this, it emerges no commercial company is interested in offering amc and support to home users of linux. great for windows. so i need to lower my expections. would there be individuals, freelancers, college-students, etc., who'd be interested to offer *paid commercial support* for linux for home-users and for individuals, in your free time? in the NCR region? regards niyam -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
