[ale] How do I run Android in a Virtualbox VM

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Boris,

I might be able to do that.  For this particular task, I wanted to observe and document some install from scratch procedures and I need it to be as close to the normal user experience as possible.  I could use my tablet, but I've long since done all the initial setup on that tablet.  That's why I wanted to use a vm or an emulator.  I do like the idea of the project that you mentioned and I may have to tinker with it some time.

Sincerely,

Ron

Please excuse my potential brevity if I'm typing on the touch screen.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
