Wish to run an i386 Devuan alpha4 as a guest OS in VirtualBox's current v5.0.14[1], and under an i386 Linux-distro host. The Devuan download zone[2] currently lists the four possibilities for this as - devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.box - devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.qcow2 - devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4-netboot.iso - devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4-netboot-auto.iso
The appropriate snippet of the Devuan download zone's README textfile[3] reads as "Beware the netinst-auto flavour is preseed to ask no questions. Virtual machines are qcow2 harddisk images ready to use in Qemu" From the above snippet, I would naturally assume that the two devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4 files ending in "-netboot-auto.iso" and ".qcow2" can be excluded for installation as possible vbox guests. Thus is devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.box *the* one to use here for vbox, and if so, are there additional special hints/instructions for getting this to work smoothly in vbox (e.g., using one the appropriate Guest Additions[4] listed at [5]) ??
