The Distribution page does specifically say that Icaros will run in Virtualbox so I have set up the AROS Icaros desktop OS distribution in a VirtualBox virtual machine on my Linux computer. I have it up booting up and running, but have run into a number of issues. I have looked in the documentation but so far have not found the answers. For example:
- how does one move "drawers" around on the desktop? The usual intuitive click and drag does not seem to work although the mouse pointer works fine. Tried left, right and center buttons, all to no avail.
- how does on mount a USB drive? I enabled USB in the AROS System and in my USB stick in the virtual machine but it does not detect it or recognize it anywhere?
Furthermore, regarding this statement on the AROS SourceForge website:
"It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas."
I took this to mean that AROS will run most original Amiga software including games, but someone the other night told me that it will not. Could someone clarify please? Broadly, what Amiga software will it run? What will it not run?
