Just install <your linux of choice> onto a USB stick with Virtualbox etc. installed Boot from the USB stick when you get to the store. It wouldn't take that much to enable raw disk mounting and have a pre-setup environment booting /dev/sda1 or something. You'd just have to change /dev/sda1 depending on that the USB stick picked the windows partition up as. -- Robert Bronsdon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
