<br>
could you describe what settings need changing for blackPanther OS? That's the first thing which needs to be sorted out clearly.<br>
<br>
That it doesn't work out of the box should be fixable without getting into the topic of teaching VirtualBox about the existence of a new distribution.<br>
<br>
To give an answer on the general topic of adding new guest OSes: unfortunately the approach which the VirtualBox API offers today isn't as scalable as we'd like to have it and thus we add only the truly unavoidable ones.<br>
<br>
We plan to address this in a future release, by adding some way of providing user-defined VM templates (with a reasonable way to share them, including icons), but short term it isn't high priority enough to get dev time.<br>
<br>
If someone really wants to help out with the long-term solution (wouldn't be a 5 minute project, but also not an absolutely giant one either and can be spread out over months - good knowledge of C++ and some XML is needed), feel free to get in touch with me.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Klaus<br>

Hi Stephane,<br>
<br>
Thanks for reminding me to respond to the mailing list email address,<br>
not only you.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry, I don't understand your reasoning.<br>
<br>
I did not write a word about getting an icon for blackPanther OS in VB.<br>

Hi Stephane,<br>
<br>
Glad you looked it up. BlackPanther OS is 'the' Hungarian Linux<br>
distribution, the other two being virtually non-existent<br>
(Sulix, a state-donated OS that was developed as part of an<br>
educational project, similarly to UHU Linux).<br>
<br>
BlackPanther OS takes pride in being in existence for 15 years<br>
without capital injections and state support. We would like to<br>
get officially listed in virtualbox as a guest os and to that<br>
end would like to offer our support by uploading the patch I<br>
wrote about in my email.<br>
<br>
I would like to ask for your kind assistance in facilitating<br>
this motion and please get back to me with some substantive and<br>
material information regarding the matter, if possible.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Gabor<br>

/(Please reply to the mail list, not only to me privately.)/<br>
<br>
I'm not a VB developer, nor do I work for Oracle.<br>
<br>
I thought the guest os selection is used to decide what logo to show<br>
in the VB window, and determine some of the defaults such as memory<br>
size and disk size to use when creating a new VM. It doesn't impact<br>
how a VM runs.<br>
<br>
So if you choose something like "Ubuntu" or other decent linux<br>
distro, and your BlackPanther linux guest is experiencing errors,<br>
then adding an icon for it in VB wont solve the errors.<br>
<br>
Stéphane<br>
