Unfortunately X was running so it just=20 reset with no crash dump. However the guest addition stuff didn't work properly for me.. I ran make config and selected it, vbox built, but at install time I=20 got.. /bin/chmod 0711 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC /bin/chmod 0711 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD install -o root -g wheel -m=20 444 /usr/ports/distfiles/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso /usr/local/lib/virtua= lbox/ install: /usr/ports/distfiles/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso: No such file=20 or directory *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/home/darius/projects/virtualbox. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/darius/projects/virtualbox. and that file is missing, if I do make fetch it doesn't download it=20 either. If I do make fetch WITH_GUESTADDITIONS=3D it does download it. > Open task: > We have got 2 patches for nls support and the request > to make dbus and pulseaudio optional.

NAT is usable but without the ability to forward ports it=20 makes logging in via SSH rather tedious (ie log out from the VM with -R=20 then log back in).
