[Sugar-devel] virtual appliances are virtualiser specific?

[laurent bernabe]

Apologizes, in my last post I gave a link on a french page :

the insteresting command is here

VBoxManage clonehd machine.vmdk machine.vdi -format VDI


   - input machine.vmdk is to be replaced by the vmdk to convert
   - input machine.vdi is to be relpaced by the output vdi

Regards
