What that message says is the opposite... running Virtualbox under Fedora 10, with WinXP as guest. And I guess what happens to him is that he's running out of virtual memory/HD space, happened to me all the time while I was playing with (hastala)Vista. What I want to do is the opposite, run Fedora 10 as guest under WinXP SP2. I just wanted to know if anyone had installed it by now and if there are any showstopper / install problems.

I'm all for communication on the forums but if you attempt it and have no problems then let us know. If however you attempt it and have problems let us know and we'll help you solve them. Just seems more efficient. :-) Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."

But since the release notes of the last point update to Virtualbox say "Ubuntu 8.10 is now supported" got me thinking that perhaps there were some features in the "recent" kernels that needed tweaking on Virtualbox.

With Fedora 10, it operates fine. But with guest additions, it will install fine but have compatibility issues due to the version of xorg. That was the deal with Ubuntu 8.10. It was very fresh and the latest release of virtualbox at the time was released a bit before. I am sure the virtualbox developers cannot predict what version of a package the distro packagers are going to release with so they fix it afterwards when the version release is "written in stone". The same I believe will happen with Fedora 10 as it did with Fedora 9. Either way, try it out. There are some workarounds on the forums if you check. ___ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users

Hello Fernando, The first of the two links (the one I left in the quoted text above) does affect Fedora 10 guests and the workaround shown is the correct one (adding vboxvideo to xorg.conf on the guest). I don't know of any other issues. Regards, Michael ___ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
