Suggestion required: My needs are as follows :

an OS as light and fast as puppy.

Virtual box to run xp to run programs. Wine is NOT an option.

Can these 2 needs be combined? and run from an USB [8GB]? if yes, kindly share your method.

thanks.

@loke4300 you can do this with macpup and puppy 528 as virtual box comes in the package manager

@sneekylinux thank you so much.

more questions: You've created partitions sda1 and sda[5] and mentioned that you'd save your downloads, pictures etc in your sda5. But, by default "my documents, pictures folder are on sda1:

a. how does one change it?

b. can one password protect an FULL install? i.e ask for password when installing.

c. can one have an option of saving/not saving a session on FULL install? I can do it on my USB sessions.

d. what all does sfs file save? the sfs that is cr.

@loke4300 hi mate, you can make seperate files in your home folder for your saves, there is a way to pw protect your install and have done video on it too,as for save or not save, what sort of usb install are u doing, save to file or full usb.

as for d. i dont understand what you mean

so, can you pretty much do anything you need to in windows through virtualbox xp?

[loke4300]

@loke4300 typo...b. can one password protect an FULL install? i.e ask for password at login? [not installing].

[sneekylinux]

@LWB46 thats almost impossible but i can walk you thru it if you want to
