Question VirtualBox without X windows


Hi,

I have been searching around but didn't find any. I have installed and run without problem with VirtualBox, but just wondering can I do that if my host linux box doesn't have a X windows installed ? If that is possible, can you provide me any guide/tutorial on doing so ?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

They are for Ubuntu unfortunately, but if you can make those instructions work, it might do it.

You could install X and a very light WM and have it work perfectly.
