I was wondering about this too, but my first work-around was to boot the guest with a Damn Small Linux ISO in the "dvd" drive, and mount it in there to tinker with it... I'd prefer to be able to mount the VDI as if it was a disk image. I thought about something using fuse (user-space fs mounting) but I haven't gone any further. -- Peter Ford, Developer phone: 01580 893333 fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd. www.justcroft.com Justcroft House, High Street, Staplehurst, Kent TN12 0AH United Kingdom Registered in England and Wales: 2297906 Registered office: Stag Gates House, 63/64 The Avenue, Southampton SO17 1XS _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
