I am a newbie asa you can tell. I installed vbox from someoens instructions not the package manager. What I have not been able to do is get virtual machine setup. I believe my problem is missing step to get virtual machine setup. I havent even got to the point where I can point to install file to install specific os.
I have been trying to learn by doing everything from command line. (centos was minimal install no gui. If I could get gui working with xming it may be easier?
