Hi Israel,

Cheers,JackTPS: I'll try Lubuntu in KVM as another comparison test later.

Hi Jack,
I will install VirtualBox when I get a chance. I highly recommend
using KVM (virt-manager) if your processor supports it.
It is MUCH better in so many ways, well at least for my usage. I
can easily copy the harddrive, or mount a shared drive between the
two.
It made work on the xenial OBI go much better, as I could try
something, and simply copy it over to my VM and try something
else.
Previously I would test (in VBox) by manually editing things via
nano....
The Lubuntu list has had quite a bit of chatter on the VirtualBox
graphics issues.... so there is something there that doesn't
always work right.

Hi Guys,
I
just tried Lubuntu 16.04.1 i386 iso and that comes up fine
in the Live session in VB.
Cheers,

Hi Nio,
Thanks for the tip; I tried those but the
RtCtrl + F1 then F7 just leaves a black screen with
non flashing cursor top left.
I'll browse around and see if Google finds
anything useful on VB and Xenial workings.
Cheers,
JackT.
