I don't understand your question.
You can use whatever you like as the host OS.
I can tell you a little secret: I learned Linux on virtualizer.
Only later I decided to install it on real hardware.
The question is: "Can I copy an already installed Linux VDI and import it into Virtualbox on Linux, or do I need to create a VM, and install Linux in that VM".
From my experience with VirtualBox on a Mac, the VDI and the VM are two separate things. I believe that you may copy the VDI to wherever you wish, but you must then create the virtual machine on the host to use the VDI wherever it is, either on a second drive, the same drive, or wherever. When you create the VM, it will ask you for the location of the VDI.
So to elaborate, I'm guessing that the answer is that a) copy the VDI b) create the VM as a Linux guest. Linux should already be on the VDI. Point to the Linux VDI when you create the VM and start the VM. Linux should boot. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
