You should be able to simply copy the disk image from one system to the other. You'll need to duplicate the settings of the 12.04 VBox machine on the 14.04 system, though. Make sure everything related to the VM's hardware is identical (RAM, video card, network interface, etc.). > Is there some way to tell VirtualBox on my 14 installation to use > the virtual machine on the 12 installation's drive? You can modify the storage settings of the VM on the 14.04 system so that it uses the disk image on the 12.04 drive (assuming you already have the 12.04 drive mounted somewhere on your 14.04 system). It might be a good idea to clone the existing VM on the 14.04 system, and use the resulting duplicate VM with the disk image on the 12.04 drive. -- Paul Mullen _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
