Running Guest OS on external drive

Post by geoguy09 »

I would like to install my Linux guest OS on an external drive and run it from two hosts, Windows 7 and OS X 10.6. If I place the guest OS iso image and the file folder on the external drive can this be done with either VB 3.0.4 or 3.0.6 beta?

Yes, see the machine.xml and virtualbox.xml files.
