i installed the E17 2010 iso as a guest system on virtualbox...
the install went great and i made all the updates and installed all the applications but have a couple of issues...
1- as with windows guests i added my /data folder from the host system as a permanent shared folder in the machine.. but i dont know what to do now to see its contents within my guest system<??
2- i installed the task-kde4 minimal in the guest system... but when i try to login i dont get the KDE login option!! i get only E17, custom and failsafe options in GDM... how can i get to try the KDE there now?
3- another thing that before in a windows guest i had i used to be able to copy text or file from the host system and paste it directly in the guest...
like into web browser or word file for example... how can i do this now?
