Installing VirtualBox with USB Support

Posted by Jake Rayson

ubuntu1501.com

This is a big thank you link for Ubuntu1501, an Ubuntu guides, tweaks and hacks blog.

I have my first workshop under the aegis of my new business, and I'm running the Windows-based PortableApps on USB memory sticks, to get around the sticky problem of how to demonstrate software that isn't installed.

My problem was that VirtualBox wasn't recognising my USB ports, and Ubuntu1501 came to the rescue with an elegant, short and useful tutorial. Thank you again :)

Next up, I'm using Partimage (which has a command line GUI interface, if you know what I mean) to duplicate the USB sticks.

Free Software, Rock On...
