Hi, I think he was discusing install OS's into vm's. Personally the only thing I've installed into qemu/kvm is debian whitch went fine with -curses then using fb=false at the boot prompt. virtualbox doesn't have an equivelent of -curses but with some work you can do a serial console, but I although I'd like to learn I don't now how to install an os that way. As a result since use virtualbox on a server, I used qemu to install the vm and then typically run it with virtualbox. HTH Trev
