So, I got my Windows xp reinstalled and working perfectly, and updated to 11.3. Tired of dual-boot, especially now that my job requires me to go more often to Windows, I looked into VirtualBox. Looks clear enough on vavai's web site and the VB site, but ...
Vavai says I absolutely _have_ to have the kernel-default. Using his instructions, I find I have kernel-desktop installed. So I look for instructions to change kernel.
Sorry for the delay in participating here; I'm reading up on building VB vm's, and other things are also intruding on my time. I jumped in and installed VB into my desktop version on my laptop; it all appeared to go smoothly. I guess I'll find out how smooth the rest is when I finally get around to actually building vm's. Thanks particularly to Lew Wolfgang and C (how did Bilbo and Aragorn ever beat you!) for relieving my apprehension on the need to change kernels; thanks to C for the detailed VB instructions, which went smoothly. Thanks Carlos, for the easy instructions on changing the kernel version. I didn't follow them, but I've kept them for reference. Guys, the wiki pages on VB and kernel change are very much out of date or nonexistent.
