Hello everyone, I need help, Trying to install a VM on Ubuntu, the host is Ubunut 9.04 and trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 as the guest, the computer has 244MB RAM altogether and some where in the installing process of the guest it freezes or will not let me finishing it just get to step 5 of the 7 steps of installation. Is it because the ram for guest is only set at 122?

If the mount command isn’t working for you then try mount.vboxsf

For example,

sudo mount.vboxsf share_name path_to_share
