Hi Rodney! Well, the disk space is dynamic, it takes what it needs. But memory, blush! Back in the day I only had 32 meg, and only one machine, a 486 notebook, out of the hundred or so I was responsible for had that. I never even tried it then, this is the first time I have ever run it. > 2. You can go through the VirtualBox documentation and read up on > folder sharing and go that route.
