Virtual Machine

[RCuber]

Hello guys,
I need to setup a virtual machine in my fedora 8 installation. Basically I need to install XP as a virtual machine. I also need to transfer data between the host OS and to the virtual machine... (network). Im not sure where to begin .

Virtualbox.

Yesterday I was trying VirtualBox with an Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 guest OS. It seems that 64 bit is not supported so you might want to check that part out first.

I installed VirtualBox .. But I need to add myself in the vboxusers group.
I tried with the following command but still im unable to get the permision.

su -
usermod -G vboxusers -a charan
exit

AFAIK Virtualization softwares emulate a 32 bit System and you cannot install a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit system; niether real nor virtual....

@Charan:arrrey! u have to give all secondary groups along with -G in usermod command.for that,use "groups" command in local user terminal to identify the groups where local user is member of.also restarting or teliniting system to runlevel 1 and return to runlevel 2 to have ur changes applied.best way is to use menu System>admin>user&groups and enable all needed permission and try restarting!
