+===== 170319 (trying with Revenge and Arch Anywhere) =====
+Downloaded **archanywhere dual** and **revenge installer 32** as per Scott's notes.
+Note that revenge was put in a file that was NOT labelled ISO.
+Created and installed (chose openbox, but that's maybe a poor idea -- XFCE may be easier).
+Then tried to run alsaplayer to play music.
+Note need to create vmshare dir and mount it so I had some mp3 files.
+   sudo mount -t vboxsf vmshare vmshare  # from home dir in guest
+audacious plays, alsaplayer does not.
+To get VBox Guest additions, had to mount /dev/sr0, install gcc and make from base-devel and run the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
+Managed to mess up arch anywhere.
+==== Try again with Arch Anywhere ====
+Redo with xfce, changing to ALSA audio driver in VBox settings.
+Change back to pulseaudio as no sound.
+Reboot, but now file manager not working???
+Could not get pacman to find mp3 stuff. And some apps not responding.
+==== Try again with Revenge ====
+  Choose pulseaudio. LXDE
+Tried to insert and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run but no linux-headers.
+    pacman -S linux-headers # worked!
+reboot
+vboxadd.service failed and locked at end "Reached target Graphical Interface".
+reboot
+No good. So try again to install.
+Choose:
+   linux-lts kernel
+   lxde
+   internet chromium
+   media audacious
+   utilities virtualbox leafpad ntfs-3g
+Then insert VBox Guest Additions iso, open terminal and
+sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
+Seems OK. So reboot.
+Yes, screen sizing works. Mounted vmshare after creating. And audacious plays tunes.
+pacman -S alsaplayer
+  does not work, but install implied MPEG support needs libmad.
+pacman -S libmad
+alsaplayer works!
+==== Try Archanywhere again. ====
+adding libmad got alsaplayer working.
+Slightly different interface to revenge.
