You can try again under VirtualBox if you want and I will try to help you out with any problems you encounter. If you do go that direction, I would suggest you use the VM image (instead of the iso).

But to be honest, if you are planning to use alterantive hardware, you may be better off setting that up now. What hardware is it? If its x64 capable then I'd strongly encourage you to try Proxmox VE. Its a Debian based Virtualisation platform (or Virtual Environment) - also known as a Hypervisor. It will allow you to host multiple VMs on your spare PC. I wrote a bit more about Proxmox VE and others over here if you're keen for a read.

Let us know how you go.

Ps Perhaps remove the quote (from  -----Original Message----- down), it'll make the thread a lot easier to read. If you want to refer back to the orignal topic just post a link.
