Hi Martin,
Good to read that you got it up and running.
The choice for the 32bit environment was made because it gives you more flexibility, esp. On older computers.
Happy exploring!
Schöne Grüße
Axel

Hi Axel
Thanks for your feedback. I did check the VirtualBox forum, and
although I didn't know exactly what I was doing I made a lucky
punch.
To make a long story short: If you are running a 64 bit machine but
only get 32 bit operating systems as a choice when setting up the
virtual machine, then you should read this:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339#p291404
In my case there was a conflict between VirtualBox and my anti-virus
software (Avast, but other manufacturers may have the same issue). I
had to turn off the anti-virus software once during the setup of the
virtual machine to be able to choose "openSuse (64 bit)", and then
everything went fine. (I don't have to disable the anti-virus
software anymore when booting or running the virtual machine.)
I hope this helps others with similar problems as well.
Happy holidays!
Martin

Hi Martin,
I'm travelling as well, w/o access to my laptop.
That sounds like a general problem with Virtualbox. Did you check
the VBox Forum for this error?
Schöne Grüße

I made some progress, and maybe this
helps to find a solution:
The fatal error I encountered was a result of not having
activated the PAE mode in the virtual machine's settings. But
doing so resulted in a Kernel panic when booting again, so
that didn't take me much further.
I then tried to run the virual machine on my old notebook
(32bit Windows 7 SP1) - which worked! The problem is that I
can't take that old notebook with me, I need GNU Health on my
64 bit Windows 8.1 machine.
Any ideas?

Dear Armand
A virtual machine sounds very promising. I've installed
VirtualBox, downloaded the VMDK file and tried to run the
virtual machine as described here: https://susestudio.com/help/use/virtualbox.html
Unfortunately I get a fatal error shortly after booting the
virtual machine, and I know too little about all this to
interpret the log file created by VirtualBox. I'm running
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit.
Has anyone encountered the same problem before?
Best regards,
Martin

Dear Martin,
A cost effective solution would be to
download Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/
and install (it is an open source software) on your
PC. You will then create an OpenSuse Virtual machine
and install GNU Health using the Live CD. OpenSuse and
GNU Health will be installed automatically. It works
very well.
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year,
Armand
I experimented with
the GNU Health Live CD, but I did not manage to
boot
my Samsung Notebook from it (I tried both USB
stick and CD).
So I'm thinking about buying a small computer
like a Mac Mini or similar
as a GNU Health server. Does anyone have
experiences to share?
I'm familiar with Windows and Mac OS, but not
with Linux. I'm looking
for a solution that is simple, small and
reliable, since I'll be
travelling to Laos and need something for
demonstration purposes.
