Hello, I've installed my virtual env on an external harddrive so that I don't have to schlepp my laptop around. Now at home, I want to fire up the virtual env but somehow I can't seem to figure out how to start it. There is no import or anything like that that has worked. So, how do I do this?
Thanks

Re: How to get access to Virtual Env
If the PC and laptop give the external drive the same drive letter, you can move the whole config away from your user profile onto the external drive with the environmental variable VBOX_USER_HOME. Let's say your external drive is drive F:\, then you would use for example F:\Virtual Machines to store the VMs. You might need to modify all the XML files to match the new location for the files, but you should be good to go after that.
