I am a VBox newbie too, but here goes. Start VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine, create a virtual hard disk of, say, 5GB. This virtual disk is just a file under XP. Make sure the CD is enabled, and then 'start' the virtual machine. It will boot and install OpenSuse entirely within the virtual hard disk, and not affect your host copy of XP at all. -- Mike Jeays http://www.jeays.ca _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
