Has anyone tried running Gerasim / Windows inside a VirtualBox on Linux?
Does it work well? Does it work at all?

I think this is fool-proof but could you just try it for me please? • There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t

never tried it

I've run a Win7 VM before but I can't say whether I tried Gerasim. It has been years since I did that though. What sticks in my mind is that it takes a boatload of HDD space to setup a Windows VM.

Thanks Guys - I'll give it a go as I'd hate to pike out of the Gerasim sprint and there is no earthly way I can go around all my machines with a monitor and keyboard. I'll try this on a couple which do have monitors as I may just be able to shellscript something for the others.

The last system I installed Win 7 Pro 64 on just a month or so ago so it doesn't have a bunch of junk it and it's using 163 GB of disk. The last linux system Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu 14.04) is using less than 8 GB.

Holy Clap.... I put 7 ultimate on HDD last week. First time I have done that in years. Start to finish including security updates took about 5 hours.
Maybe I need to look see is there is any room left
