<big>Without repeating the whole darned thread, here are my
additional
thoughts.<br>
<br>
Live USB: It' still a dual boot scenario. My limited
experience with
Knoppix on USB shows it is vastly slower than running it off of
the CD,
which is vastly slower than running from a hard drive, of
course. My
experience shows Virtual Box to have no glaringly obvious speed
differences compared to native. One reason might be the default
RAM
allocated in VB is rather small, 300-500kb. I set all VB
installations
at 1 GB or better, especially since I want to run a certain
graphics
program on it. <br>
<br>
I have Ubuntu Wubi on my NTFS partition as my dual boot. Too
bad there
aren't other distros that do this. (Corel Linux did, way way
back.)<br>
<br>
Puppy Linux on DVD will let you write program changes back to
the
disc. Pretty sweet. Unfortunately, dK isn't one of the
repository
apps but I would guess that someone here knows how to do it if
they
were so inclined.<br>
<br>
I've been re-re-reading the VB instructions about the Guest
Additions,
and more particularly, the Shared Folder function. Boy, what a
morass! You aren't done after installation of GA, back to the
terminal. The "folders," drives actually, are in /media. </big></blockquote>
You are at the wrong place. Everything you see under media you
should leave alone. The magic happens in mnt, exactly as I
described. Follow it point for point and it must work.<br>

Uses my
Windows username and password! Then Nautlus asks to update
things.
Well, OK, why not? Then I sent the drive to the desktop, but the
icon
there won't open the drive although it did from /media. The
warning
has a typical cryptic linux terminal instruction to correct
this.
Meanwhile, when I try to set up digiKam, I can set my D drive as
the
source for the photos (3 folders within), but I can't open up
the
directory tree of my C drive to locate the database, where I
keep it. <br>
<br>
If I was smart, I'd just be happy with dK 2.0 on Windows
(thanks,
Giles!). <br>
