It works great. I have less faith in VirtualBox''s "local" filesystem access to the host''s files.

Dick I''m 99$ sure I use to do this when I had OpenSolaris as my base OS to an XP guest (no NFS client - Bob) for my $HOME Now I use Vista as my base OS because I now work in an MS environment, so sorry can''t check. You having problems? BTW: Thank goodness for VirtualBox when I want to do real file manipulation, rather than windows explorer!
