Thank you for this post. My previous experience with virtualization
software has been frustrating, to say the list. Following your
instructions, the software installed without any problemd.

As a new user, I tired to configure too many options at once. The only
initial configuration required was mounting the dvd drive and selecting
ALSA as the sound device.

To access my home directory and the printer, I had to do a network
setup. Is this the the best way or are there better alternatives?

As regards the network cards, sound cards and other such equipment, is
it possible to have direct access in vbox or does this cause problems
with the host system?



vb allows you to specify "Shared Folders". Just open vb, select the guest os you want to specify a shared folder for and then click on the "Shared Folders" and then chose the folder you want to share between the host and guest os.

I have a little network that has plenty of samba shares available so I just use a folder on a samba share. Works great both from linux and the guest os XP.

I was amazed that the guest XP networking was 100% functional from within vb. No configuration required on that end. Just use windows explorer and with folder view and pick "my networks" "entire network" "windows networks" the just pick your "workgroup" expand it and all your computers are there!
