save disk space

If you use the NTFS online compression you can save many HDD memory, because the disk images contains many unused Bytes. Discuss in our Forum.

create a normal user

use adduser username to create a new non-root user.

change root to a normal user

change to default user

edit /usr/bin/X11/startwindowsterminalsession and replace 'root' with you used username. Add this user to /etc/sudoers.

Change Launcher Port

windows

Non-root-users can't use ports <1024. The Launcher must use a port greater than 1024, e.g. 8081 You can use this .reg file to change the Launchers:

andLinux Launcher.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\andLinux\Launcher]
"IP"="192.168.11.150"
"Port"="8081"

Look also FAQ - Chaning the Launcher Port

linux vm

edit /usr/local/sbin/launcher.pl and change LocalPort. Reboot.
