I just installed the new SME 8 and worked through the contrib for installing VBox. The only other modification to the system was that I started but did not finish installing VMware. I got through all the steps up to the point where I access the VBox through the PHPVirtualBox and I could not get any connection. Since this is about 30 steps into the process I was a bit bummed and was worried about finding my mistake after so muny steps. After about 30 min. of trouble shooting and many reboots, I changed the IP address in vbox.cfg (Virtualbox) and config.php (PHPVirtualBox) from 127.0.0.1 to the actual IP of my Host. After a reboot, everything works fine. So my questions are:
1. Is this an important insight to getting VBox to run on SME 8? If so, how do I make the changes to the contribs page or who do I tell to make the changes?
2. I have an 32-bit XP virtual machine running that I am accessing with the Remote Desktop Client from Windows. It is a little jerky in the mouse department. Is there any fix for that?
3. Just a thought, wouldn't it be cleaner to tell people where the actual grub.conf file is located in step 8 instead of the symlink referring to it?
