a config file that tells it that it can do this and pointing it
to some repositories -- this is not functionality that is enabled out
of the box.

Which is about 50x more powerful than this machine, which came with
about 32MB of RAM and a 75MHz CPU or something like that.

This PC
probably predates the 21st century.
It *maxes out* at 96MB RAM:

You can forget any current distro on it. It's even older than I
thought with my previous comment. It might *just about* run DSL.

C (>10y old), any modern Linux distro will really
struggle. About the only *buntu with even a chance is LXLE:

Go with the 12.04 version.
But it would be better suited to Puppy Linux or DamnSmallLinux.

Eschew sesquipedalian obfuscation.

Clashes with Eastercon for me, so no can do. Shame, as it would have
been my last one.

to pick the matching /vertical/
resolution - e.g. 792 is 1024*768 in 24-bit colour, so it's the right
vertical res for a modern 1368*768 display with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
There is a more modern method with grub_gfx_payload or something, but
TBH, I've not bothered to use it - I put up
some of the startup messages.
In the past, I've got round this by specifying the monitor's actual
resolution - or something close, e.g. right vertical resolution - in
GRUB with `nomodeset` and `vga=792` or whatever.

oving this is an easy way of getting around problems
with proprietary drivers, for instance.
And no, Mir will not be on by default in 14.04! But of course the OP
/might/ have enabled it.

first!)
If you know your new hardware will require a driver for XP to
recognise its disk controller, install that before doing the above.

t least
know how to fix it.
Secondly, don't try to boot the VM off a disk partition. Image the
disk partition into a file, then use that file as your virtual disk.
Much much safer, and also, when you get the VM configured to use the
virtual emulated hardware, you won't break your real ph
DR-DOS, as that's FOSS, and I happen
to know it well, unlike FreeDOS).
It's handy to keep DOS or Windows around for emergencies and for
things like BIOS-reflashing.

Is your new BIOS/firmware full updated?
What kernel are you running?
Have you tried the newer backport kernels?

x27;s the point of
having a 64-bit guest?
Mac OS X is a bit different and 32-bit kernels *can* execute 64-bit
processes. AFAIAA Linux and Windows can't. I welcome correction,
though.

see why you'd want it; it's going to
be slow, inefficient and since the main point of x86-64 is access to
more memory & a 32-bit host cannot provide this, it seems rather
pointless.
But I sit corrected, nonetheless. It is possible. Not desirable, but possible.
I stand by the rest of
done, would there still be a big advantage to going over to
> 64-bit Xubuntu?
Win7 is a big OS. It needs lots of RAM. 4GB is a reasonable basic
amount. *No* 32-bit x86 OS can allocated that much RAM to a single
process.
So if you want big VMs, with more than about 2GB allocated to them,
you need
