I am using the VM from the Fractint site on Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit on VirtualBox 5.0.40_Ubuntu r115130 Settings for the VM: 32MB memory with Floppy, Optical, and Hard Disk, PIIX3, PS/2 Mouse 1 CPU, Parvirt... = Legqcy, Enable VT-x/AMD-V, Enable Nested Paging Dispay 24MB Network Adapter = NAT ------------------------------ Not having any issues (what version of Debian are you using?) This host is an HP Z210 xeon 16GB ... it is my test machine. Cinnamon ver 3.2.7 Kernel 4.4.0-generic Xeon E31230 @ 3.2 GHz x 4 15.6 GiB Nvidia GT216GL Quadro 400 ------------------------------ I have not tried creating a VirtualBox Folder ... but I think you need to have quest extensions in the guest machine to see those kind of shares and I don't believe that FreeDOS supports the extensions On 06/11/2017 06:07 PM, david wrote:
IIRC, with VirtualBox, you can share a folder on the host machine with the virtual machine. I don't know how that could be accessed from the FreeDOS VM, though.
Unfortunately for me, the FreeDOS Fractint appliance just hangs on my Debian systems here.
I also have DOS Fractint running under DOSBox emulator. I believe that has a command (to run in the DOSBox) that maps a Linux folder to a drive letter in the DOSBox. Then you can read and write files from DOS Fractint while having easy access to them from Linux.
I prefer XFractint even if it does lack color cycling.
