I may try it again down the road, just to see how smooth the experience = should be. :) The only real problem I have with this setup is the fact that the = windowing system (XFCE) in VirtualBox is loosing mouse functionality. The mouse pointer is there, but I can=E2=80=99t always select things = graphically. Mainly happens when I open a window and try to click on = the desktop. Oh well, that=E2=80=99s the cutting edge I guess. I was also installing GuixSD with QEMU. That runs a lot slower than the = VirtualBox install, but I probably could have given more resources to = that build. At any rate the QEMU install bombed out with an error, so now I am using = the hydra site and things are progressing so well that it was up and = running in a very short time.
