And two I'd be very surprised if that worked, since I seem to recall that the ubuntu livecd needs 256Mb minimum, not to mention ram to run your host os, in addition to virtualbox itself. > final questions: how much did you select for memory in VirtualBox for > Ubuntu? I don't recall for sure, but I believe I was able to give 283Mb of ram to the guest, without having virtualbox pause the vm, due to low host memory. I seem to recall I started at 384 for the guest, and went down from there by trial and error, until virtualbox stopped complaining that the vm was paused due to low host ram. > After the config effort, did Ubuntu+Orca run well using > VirtualBox? Yes. The wait for apps to start was noticeable, and there was a slight delay between hitting a key, and having it produce a response, and the speech was a bit choppy at some points, but it was good enough for playing with, for me at least. Also, once the install was done, I took the guest ram down to 192Mb. > Greg - -- web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) - -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGv6N37s9z/XlyUyARAqWqAJ44QxMtF2Ph8S5lo8ae2xDEKJKN/gCgmsog HqVdDCG9JOpzc2HAbQNNiJs= =uLF4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
