Not sure how it behaves these days. it still works. In the process of fixing this I added the Oracle VirtualBox PPA and then installed 6.12. It works just fine with only the ~/.VirtualBox folder, wherein all the .vdi files are in the VDI subfolder. It's now working the way *I* want it to work. I just hate applications that scatter themselves all over my computer. I'll agree to let Oracle do that when they buy me a computer. Until then, I paid for it and I'll use it the way I want to. >PS: I do not really mind that they changed the dir name, but why >having a space in the dir name is beyond me.

In my opinion it would be better if we could get the command line to recognize spaces without having to escape them. The rest of the world did that 25-30 years ago. While we're at it we can ditch ASCII and embrace Unicode. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
