As for a dedicated partition... I agree with dwgallien... there is no need.
So far I recall you can use already installed systems that reside on own partitions with Vbox, which will save some disc space and time to install them again.

I would test this on some system (partition) that is already slated for removal, so if something goes wrong there is no real damage.
I am playing with this, new to *any* virtual operating systems aside vnc. I have 11.3 installed in VBox on 11.2. I can access my local to 11.2 directories using "mount.vboxsf ..." and added the mount commands to /etc/init.d/after.local as I could not get them to automagically mount with fstab. They are mounted with I start a new session/reboot the VBox. I cannot get 64-bit system in VBox, I guess because my processor is not capable. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
