Thanks for your reply.
Yes the whole thing works nicely now. But still there is a problem while adding
the shared folder in the hosted system.
Because i tried to add another shared folder in Virtualbox (I have 2 hard disks
on my pc) and, again, same error message displays from Virtualbox: "Shared
folder host path '/sda1/<folder name>' is not accessible."
And this is the PUEL version of Virtualbox. .
I think it is because the path of the folder it's wrongly indicated or there
are at least 2 different paths for the same folder (!??).
Indeed clicking in the desktop icon of My PC (in the desktop icon of
openSUSE10.3, is to say, at sysinfo:/) then right clicking in some device, like
"local disk" (my hard disk #1), you can see in properties that there are three
ways of going to this same place: Address: /(media) (just that. . ), but
mounted in: /windows/C and still the device node is at: /dev/sda1.
In this case, the correct folder path (where this device which contains the
target folder is actually mounted) it is: "/windows/C/<folder name>".
As I said I think this is because the mount point or the folder path it's shown
in different ways in openSUSE 10.3: If while adding the shared folder in the
hosted system you click in the button media:/ you will get a wrong path for the
folder. So you have to ignore the "media:/" indication but to go to
/windows/... and find there the shared folder that then will be accessible.
I -of course- don't know why openSUSE10.3 has "device nodes" as paths and in
addition to the normal folder paths (the paths pointing to where the folders
are indeed mounted). But it seems to cause this problem / confusion when trying
to show the correct path for a folder.
Otherwise, each time I like more openSUSE. . It's a really advanced and
polished OS, very likely the most advanced/polished Linux operating system
already.
I just would attempt at my best it to be -still- more user-friendly when
installing programs and to include debian packages too, besides rpm. . Now (off
the topic) perhaps Deb. packages will end being standard for all Linux
distributions so it makes easier to unite the combined Linux efforts? Or there
will be finally a standard package format for all distros? It shouldn't be a
major problem to arrive to an agreement on this concern between the different
main Linux distributions, so we get easily ALL Linux programs and the
developers get shared their programs better and faster.
