Public bug reported:
Installed Virtualbox 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 7.10 (finally, after numerous attempts).
Installed Windows 2000 Pro as guest OS (no USB support apparent)
Installed from .ISO file (the CDROM passthru did not work with DVD Drive)
Updated Windows 2000 Pro to SP4 (no problems)
set up shared folders to /media/sdaX partitions (no problems)
set up shared folders in VM Windows 2000 under My Network Places (worked)
set up shared folders in VM Windows 2000 using Map Network Drives (worked)
Trieed to download and install Adobe Reader for Windows 2000 + SP4, but Adobe
website kept switching download to RPM package because host OS was Ubuntu.
Additional note:
It would be nice to have choice of default hard drive letter when installing
Windows as guest OS - this would support allowing shared folders for drive C:
to be mapped as network drive C: and avoid unnecessary path changes.
