All right, I admit it: I cannot read manuals and always understand what they contain. Show me how something is done and I know what to do and how to solve a problem. But read a manual...... :-( .
I have a simple question about VirtualBox to which I cannot find a straight answer. The question is:
do I need to create a new, separate, VirtualBox for every operating system I want to run (under openSUSE 12.1) or do I only install the one VB which will then have separate "boxes" within it for the various OSs?
For example, I want to be able to try out Milestone #4 of 12.2 but would like to try out some other distros just to see what they are about. Do I create a separate VB for each of these?
Now, suppose I also decide to install the old copy of Windows XP as one of the OSs. Another VB for this because XP is noway even remotely close to a Linux OS?
Someone please put me out of misery :-) . Anyone?
You install a single copy of VirtualBox (host) for Linux. Then you start the VirtualBox GUI and with that you create VirtualMachines. Each VirtualMachine would have its own Virtual Hardware Settings as well as its on Virtual Disks. The location of the Virtual Machines (sometimes referred to has guest O/S) are defined in the Preferences section of the VirtualBox GUI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
