Hi Mark,
I do have it working now in VirtualBox.
I may try it again down the road, just to see how smooth the experience should
be. :)
The only real problem I have with this setup is the fact that the windowing
system (XFCE) in VirtualBox is loosing mouse functionality.
The mouse pointer is there, but I can’t always select things graphically.
Mainly happens when I open a window and try to click on the desktop. Oh well,
that’s the cutting edge I guess.
I was also installing GuixSD with QEMU. That runs a lot slower than the
VirtualBox install, but I probably could have given more resources to that
build.
At any rate the QEMU install bombed out with an error, so now I am using the
hydra site and things are progressing so well that it was up and running in a
very short time.
Thanks.
