[member=6733]TheDead[/member]: After testing, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's 16 or 128Mb. And I don't intend to use the VM for 3D stuff.
Anyway, even if the GUI is much nicer, I'm really stuck trying to install the VBoxGuestAdditions (from the iso CD image downloaded in the Mac), which I think I remember are necessary for the guest and the host to swing properly together. It ends up with some errors that I don't understand — attaching the terminal-like result as a zipped screenshot, as I'm not able to put it on the clipboard and as the forum here doesn't seem to accept jpegs.
I then came across this thread on MacRumors [https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ins...x.2201426/], same case it seems, but after downloading VirtualBox 4.3.40's Extension Pack [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbo...ox-extpack] from here [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_3] which gave me “An error has occurred” (instead of the original poster's “Archive type not supported”). If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Linux doesn't quite know what to do with a “vbox-extpack” file.
