Subject: Re: virtualbox, was: Re: Kali Linux I am using virtualbox to try to create a version of grml that comes up I've= been using virtualbox to try to create a version of grml that comes up tal= king. I have virtual machines for straight debian, grml32, and grml64. It's= pretty nice. I'm not sure if I prefer virtualbox or vmware player. Virtua= lbox has a really powerful and well docummented command line interface. So = I was able to script the process of creating virtual machines. Virtualbox = stores it's config files in an xml file and it has a warning at the top of = each file not to edit it. VMware stores it config files in plain text that = is easily edited in any text editor.=20 I've many times changed the boot order of a virtual machine by just going i= n and editing it in the config file. But if you're not intimidated by xml, = you could probably edit the config files for virtualbox too. One other thing that I really liked about virtualbox was that you can get a= screen capture. At first, when I have having trouble getting virtual machi= nes to start, I'd take a screen cap and run it through tesseract to see why= it was stuck. I was even able to check the network configuration on a Wind= wos virtual machine this way. I was pretty sure the Windows virtual machine= was running so I pressed the keys to open a command window, windows+r, cmd= . Then in the command window, I type "ipconfig /all". Then I got the screen= cap and was able to check the network config. Pretty cool. But it turns out vmware can do that too. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2255477/how-to-make-screenshots-using-vm= ware-tool-vmrun On 05/03/2015 05:27 PM, Igor Gueths wrote: > I'm actually running VirtualBox on a Debian host: > igueths@holly:~$ uname -a > Linux holly 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt7-1 (2015-03-01)=20 > x86_64 GNU/Linux On Fri, May 01, 2015 at 10:23:31PM -0700, Don Raikes=20 > wrote: >> So vbox works with nvda but not with jaws?
