Had problems after installing linux-image-virtual in Karmic (now about to install Lucid) as guest under Windows XP host using VirtualBox. Can't describe them since I reverted, but my questions are:
  1. What exactly is the linux-image-virtual kernel
  2. What are the advantages of installing linux-image-virtual when running Ubuntu Desktop as guest?
  3. Are there any specific installation guidelines for linux-image-virtual? What is the proper procedure?
  4. Is it commonly used, or do most people running Ubuntu as a guest just leave the default generic kernel and be done with it?

Thanks,
Yitzhak
