Hi all!
I'm planning to do a fresh install of Mint 9 on my main computer which currently has Mint 6. Ok, that's probably not relevant. Anyway, my reason for doing a fresh install (not upgrade) is to rid my machine of superfluous junk that might remain, thus freeing up my drive.
All important files have been backed up, of course, with one exception (maybe) and this is where my questions come in.
My new setup will have VBox, a newer version than the old one which would not upgrade for some reason no matter what I tried. So, once I get the newer version installed, how do I get my XP machine loaded? To be more specific, I would like the XP machine as it is now so that I do not lose a specific app which I will be unable to replace. I created two folders on my external hd and synced "/usr/lib/virtualbox" to one and "/usr/share/virtualbox" to the other. One of the two syncs had an error msg. which I didn't bother to read in my ADD-prone nature. OK, so will I, most likely anyway, be able to move these directories to my new VBox or am I completely off base here?
Any advice will, of course, be *greatly* appreciated!
Mark
