    easier said than done... OS/2 is not so easily installed in a VM...

    I am thinking about running a BBS on OS/2 on VirtualBox.

    What is the problem with running OS/2 on a VM ?


    You might have a issue if you try and use more then a 2 GB partition.

    No, thats not the issues. I set my partitions to 520 MEG, 16 MEG of ram, etc ... the vm's just don't play well with OS/2's installer. If you get it to install 1 out of 100 tries, it works great. But it usually fails.
