Mylivecd+Virtualbox..Problems

[gezza]

Hi to all,
I have been running 2010.07 in VirtualBox under win7!!!
I have created 3 or 4 livecd's and burned them to dvd's.
None of the disks, on booting and after selecting the installation mode, recognise a ps2 or usb mouse/keyboard.
Could anyone explain how I can get the mouse/keyboard to work??
Pretty Please.

Hi Gezza,
Sorry, I have never remastered a virtual OS. Your ps2 & usb work in the guest OS? As I understand it, the guest OS accesses usb etc. via a vbox connection (obvious) so possibly your remaster will be looking for that same interface rather than the hardware.?
I did a quick forum search but didn't get anything directly relating to remastering. But maybe using varying search syntax you could get more info.  
Sorry to have no advice for you, but for sure more knowldgeable folks will come around.

edit: btw, I assume you are using your remaster to install a host OS, rt? And do you want to modify your remaster or connect usb/ps2 within your installed remaster? You might get quicker help with more specifics.

hi johnmart
Many thanks for coming back.
Yes, The virtual 2010.07 was working through win7 to get onto the internet via a Telstra (telecom) usb dongle.
Although it is supposed to work with Linux, I have not yet got it to do so.
So.. I have a fully upgraded 2010.07, KDE 4.5.1 etc and I would like to transfer it to my main machine.
As you say, It was working with, I  assume a synthesized mouse and keyboard. However, I was uderstanding that the system probed for new devicies on booting!!! So it should have found the new keyboard and mouse. It does probe the usb ports and I have found that the system works with keyboard and mouse so long as X does not run.
On the livecd I have """Deleted the X* in /etc""" I think, but  X will not then  start.
Although I have over 100GB assigned to my home folder and all tmp files are in home/user/temp I have not yet been able to create  an iso including the /var/chache folder. so without this I cannot update or upgrade. I am again trying to crate a livecd with all the root folder in but not the home/user/temp folder which holds the tmp files for mylivecd, which I have now done for the fifth or sixth time. But this time running the BleachBit system first.
Any further thoughts greatfully received.
Gezza.

Hhi  to all,
I have just burnt and verified 3 iso's of mylivecd created over the last 5 weeks and none of them, on booting to a graphic screen has either a keyboard or mouse(usb or ps2) Can one create a livecd from a virtual system and have it work properly?

Until now, I only have heard of problems with trying to remaster from a virtual pc......
Maybe someone has a solution??? (most of the people can't even boot them....)
