Just noticed it was released ~3 months ago, how should I configure VirtualBox for it? Is 4 GB disk space enough? Audio doesn't seem to work, it states there's no drivers available for all 3 controllers. Network needs to be configured as PCnet-PCI II. Custom VESA resolutions appears to have desktop refresh issues, but otherwise fine.
Haven't tried installing to the hard drive yet, but I plan to do that after knowing how to fix the audio problem. Thanks.

Windows 10 is the actual host, not 8 (no option).
Re: SkyOS Public Beta
I just tried to install SkyOS also, and it would not install to harddrive. No harddrive shows up in the list. I tried all combos of settings I could think of, but never got the hard drive to appear. The sound was not a concern to me at all, I didn't even know it did not work as I disable that to begin with.
If anyone figures out a setting to make the hard drive appear, post away!

Re: SkyOS Public Beta
As regards grimmster's question about the hard drive, it appears that the problem is in the partitioning routine. (The system does admit there is a problem.) Try partitioning the (virtual) hard disk with something else before trying to install SkyOS on it. I tried booting first using a Win98 boot floppy image. You can run FDISK from this and create a partition. After this boot from the SkyOS CD and install. Do not repartition when it suggests you do (it is flagged as a FAT partition, of course) - just reformat.
I presume a Linux partitioner would work just as well.
