Re: [vbox-dev] issues with blackPanter OS as guest OS in VirtualBox and suggested solution

Hi Gábor, could you describe what settings need changing for blackPanther OS? That's the first thing which needs to be sorted out clearly. That it doesn't work out of the box should be fixable without getting into the topic of teaching VirtualBox about the existence of a new distribution.

Re: [vbox-dev] (Bug?)VT-Bit
