Memory issues

Post by giaur »

Hello,

I have virtualbox installed on machine with 2 GB ram. I need to assign 1.8 GB ram for guest system and 0.2 GB for host. Haw can I do this? Virtualbox does not allow me to do this. And yes, I'm sure - host does not need more ram than 200 MB (minimal linux with only X running, without any window manager).

Any suggestions? I've also tried to edit virtual machine configuration files directly using text editor, but they seems to be ingored.

No way. The host needs more RAM than 200 MB. VBOX is a linux program and needs RAM for itself.
