Re: [orca-list] VirtualBox

Hi Christian,

Try VBoxManage.  Running it without any arguments should give you a good 
synopsis of its usage.  There is also a user manual for VirtualBox that I 
would recommend skimming.  I've used VBoxSDL to start a vm under X, and it 
works well (although Orca won't read anything, of course).  I couldn't get 
my scanner to work with it, but that is a separate issue.

Depending on what you're trying to install, you might also want to look at 
the cvs version of qemu, since it has a curses driver that allows the vm's 
output to be sent to a text console as long as the display remains in text 
mode.
