Hi all

I have done a fresh install of Fedora 8 on a quad core. I want to have a try at VirtualBox so I can install WinXP and see if my PIC programminf software will run and also the kids want to see if their SIMS 2 games will run on it.

I have the desktop setup with four users. When I setup VirtualBox logged in under my user account ~gimmee it asks to allocate hard disk space for a new virtual disk and wants to put it in /home/gimmee directory. Does this mean I have to set up a virtual disk under each of the four users. This means if I allocated say 20GB I would have to do this four times and take 80GB of space, or can I setup one virtual machine maybe under root or something that can be accessed by all users using the same virtual disk space.

Hope I am making some kind of sense.

Look forward to any guidance you can give me on this.

Cheers

Gimmee

You have to put the machine outside the home directory. Each user can only access his own /home directory.
Then you probably have to add the virtual machine to each user individually... or you copy the configuration files in .virtualbox and change the owndership accordingly.
