    Question Kali on VBox taking time to load

    Hi,

    Have downloaded the VirtualBox image from //www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/
    Have installed latest VirtualBox, and imported the Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vbox-i686.ova file.
    Have started the VM, and its been sitting at the "Loading, Please wait..." screen for about 30 minutes now (attached).
    The default Kali VBox config has been used: 2GB RAM, NAT, etc

    My computer is a i7CPU, 8GB RAM, over 80GBs free disk space.

    How long should this "Loading" process take, before Kali loads in VBox?

    Many thanks,
    PB

    I've got Kali running in Oracle VirtualBox. Am using one of the images provided at Offensive Security. For me, it's a bit slow but workable.

    I think my VM slowness is due to the host...PC is a bit under-powered.
