Greetings,
Per Jocklad comments, I swapped out my hard drive, and installed LL3.6 beta. After updates and installation of Virtualbox, and all the other appropriate software, setup Peppermint 8 and it all worked. I'm sure the issue I was having was the kernel 4.12 which did not have the modprobe file in the respective folder. Once the final 3.6 comes out, will redo the system, not doing a upgrade. It was a smooth setup and I'm sure the next one will be the same.
I did check on bios virtualization, there were three sections, only one was checked, so I checked all three.
I fully appreciate all the comments and suggestions. This forum is a great place to ask the question, and get a great response. I'll advise when I redo the 3.6 final
I do a help desk function for a company here in Maine. As most folks run MS Windows, it has been noticed as folks get older, they have a time doing just the basic maintenance, where with Linux, there is, but not as intensive. My thought is having VirtualBox running, I can display different versions of Linux and the customer could pick one of their choosing. I will admit, that I am an afficianado of Linux Lite, it has a lot of similarities to MS Windows and most folks who have seen it feel comfortable with the swap.
