Just to clarify: I am not a newbie, I have been a Unix sysadmin for almost 30 years, and been a Linux sysadmin for almost 15 years. I also run Xen virtualization systems at work that implement critical services such as DNS and authentication, so I am not new to the concept of virtualization either. I use VirtualBox at home just to run a couple of Windows VMs. All that said, it still often happens that someone else will think of something that I have not, or have a piece of knowledge that I lack, so even very experienced people may occasionally ask for help on a mailing list. I am not afraid to do that and I have often received very helpful advice. I started this thread because I was trying to install an F20 VM under VirtualBox on an F19 system. I do know how to use VB to connect the DVD ISO to the VM and install an OS. The problem is that when I do this with the F20 ISO, syslinux boots and the first Anaconda selection screen comes up. I select "Install Fedora", and I get nothing but a black screen after that. I still have not solved this problem. As a workaround, I attempted to install F20 on a VM under KVM. The install works, but the VM runs dog slow (so slow that it's useless). So as of now, I still do not have a usable F20 VM. But I have moved on to other projects, since this wasn't something that was critically important. And this thread has now degenerated into something that is no longer related to the actual topic. --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
