Very nice. Hope Innotek will include on their site. Colors do the trick. Might add: 1. Knoppix 5.01 Works. Should work with integration but running of CD Image (CD or iso file on HD) precludes guest-addition installation :-( 2. Dynebolic 2.4 Works, Same as above! These are Debian Sid/Etch combos. I believe. Dyne is more eccentric in its setup. 3. Haiku. Does not work (crashes on boot). Haiku is a reincarnation of BeOS. Note of comparison: Haiku worked just fine in Qemu. Knoppix will boot in Qemu but its KDE will not come up. Previous Dynebolic versions 1.* worked fine in Qemu but 2.* did not. The fact that these rather ambitious distros do quite well in Vbox says a lot. Allow more than one "CD" or some other means of installing the guest-additions and this would be great (I suppose I could copy the file to a DD image, make that into a VDI and so forth. Some means of simply mounting VDIs in the host (linux at least) would be much more convenient (hint-hint-Innotek). _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
