I´m attempting to run Ubuntu LTS 12.0.1 (32-bit) under 32-bit XP SP3. I´ve used the defaults for Linux for a VM, with a 5 GB vdi and half my system ram (1 gig).
System is slow as molasses.. particularly disk speed. Should I try switching the container from the sata virtual port to ide, and see if things improve?. Plus I was unable to install the guest addition as every time I select the option the guest vm brings to a halt. I have also tried mounting the guestadditions.iso as a secondary drive under the sata port, with the same results. It took over an hour to install (copying from the iso cd image to the vdi file), while I remember a Debian install, on the same system, took much less. Thoughts? comments? TIA...
