![]() ![]() On my system, VirtualBox creates two different settings folders:Ĭontains stuff related to specific virtual machines. I like to keep some of my VirtualBox settings on a physical disk, and some in the RAM disk. Instead of using symlinks to keep some of my VirtualBox settings in the ramdisk and some of them on a physical disk - I now prefer to keep all of my VirtualBox settings in the ramdisk, and I use Ramize-Physave to occasionally save some of them to a physical disk. I don't know why they work so much better, but I guess they're probably both newer than my HP Compaq dc7700. I was never able to figure out how to fix that.īut, luckily, other computers, such as my Toughbook CF-C1 laptops, and my giant cheese grater-like Mac Pro from 2008, run GNU/Linux guests at quite acceptable speeds - though noticeably slower than non-virtual GNU/Linux. (Surprisingly, Windows XP guests run quite well on it.) One of them is my HP Compaq dc7700 Convertible Minitower desktop. ![]() Unfortunately, certain computers run GNU/Linux guests terribly slowly. Thanks to everyone who put up useful info on the web that helped me figure out how to do all this!įor Running GNU/Linux Guests in VirtualBox I finally made some scripts which automate some of the below: I did all this stuff mostly manually, but perhaps someday I'll figure out how to automate a lot of the below. This blog post contains notes on how I got that working nicely. I've been using Lighthouse 64 Puppy Linux 6.02 Beta 2 as both my non-virtual host system, and as my virtual guest system. Recently, I started using VirtualBox 4.3.22 to help me update, refine, and test my Puppy Linux Setup Kit without having to repeatedly reboot a real computer. ▲ Top ▼ Bottom △ TOC How I Run VirtualBox 4.3.22 with Lighthouse 64 Puppy Linux as Both Host and Guest
