[Discuss] Virtualbox

[Peter]

I installed Virtualbox in OpenSUSE 11.1 and also Ubuntu 8.10.  I kept
getting an error message, "FATAL: No bootable media found; system
halted", when attempting to install Windows ME.  

The problem ended up being the fact that the version of WinME that I was
trying to boot was an upgrade and not bootable on its own.  The CD
'auto-runs' but is not bootable.   An earlier version of windows or a
floppy is required.  Trying to boot the WinME start floppy works but it
does not show the modern CD drive. 

Installing other OS's seems to work.

I also tried VMware, which is more or less a 1 click install in Suse
11.1, but it reported that I didn't have a good enough processor.  It
seems that an E2200 isn't enough.

We talked about this at the last meeting, so I thought I would pass
along my findings.
