I discovered several computers ago that Virtualbox keeps its virtual machines in big files with the extension .vdi in the ~/.Virtualbox folder. Whenever I need to do a fresh install of a distro I first install Virtualbox (which sets up the ~/.Virtualbox folder), then drag the .vdi files from a backup of the old OS into it. Upon launching Virtualbox on the fresh install it displays the virtual machines exactly as they were on the previous OS, and they work exactly as they did before. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do, but perhaps that information will help. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
