I'm nowhere near being an expert in this area, but I've never really felt that virtual hosts are appropriate for user level use. They are quite good for servers and can handle keyboards, mice, some video, and ethernet, but things like audio, printers, cdroms/dvd, etc not so good. Deciding what the physical host uses and what the physical host passes to the virtual host is not an easy problem. It might be easier if the host is LFS and you can set it up with no X or other things like sound servers like pulseaudio, etc. Of course that's a lot easier said than done. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
