I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. I have XP running in
Virtualbox on my 32bit Ubuntu. Rather than using the XP cd to install
it in Virtualbox on the 64bit machine I thought I could import the setup
I have on the 32bit machine into the 64bit Virtualbox. I don't know
enough about Virtualbox to know if the type of guest OS makes a
difference. Any guidenece would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
