Re: [VBox-users] Is anyone using the newer Centos' with the "latest" VB?

[Prentice B. <pre...@uc...>]

I'm running VB 7.2.6 r172322 on MacOS 15.7.4 on an M2 Pro chip (MacBook 
Pro). Not exactly the same version as you. I just downloaded and 
installed CentOS 10 w/o any issues whatsoever.

What hardware/OS is your host running on? VB on MacOS/Arm processors 
hasn't been very good in the past, but it's been getting a lot better 
recently.

As far as choosing CentOS 10 from the "OS Distributions" list, I think 
that only affects the icon shown in the VBox Manager window to make it 
easier to identify your VMs, and maybe sent some appropriate/sane 
default settings for the OS (default RAM size, VM disk size, etc.)

How much RAM are you specifying for CentOS? Even though the default is 2 
GB, I find RHEL installs (including RHEL) will fail if you don't have at 
least 4 GB. If the VM is going to have a GUI interface and your host has 
a high resolution, set the video RAM to 128 MB. If you don't, you 
usually can't go full screen with the GUI with modern display with HD 
and better displays.

I didn't have any issues with the storage settings dialog, either.

I know we're not using the same exact version of VB, so take this report 
just as a data point that there is a version of VB that works with 
CentOS 10.
