    Got this going on my HP all in one - works awesome, had some trouble on the live CD read without installation with the system UI stopping repeatedly. Took a gamble and installed it and its perfect. Also used an old hard drive as the boot disk (which was probably why the Live CD wasn't working 100%). 100% recommended way of doing this and its now part of my google home setup. Thanks

    Hello,
    I preface my comment with some history. I have 25 years in I.T. (1995, M.C.S.E, age 38). I am versed in multi-discioplines...from diagnostic troubleshooting and repair of hardware and software...to diaster and data recovery. Those are my credentials. With that said!
    I can say emphactically and without hestiation state...that when it comes to computer instructions. Your instruction was absolutely flawless, focued, succinct and concise.
    I truly appreciate that you didn't go off on a peripheral tangant or include any extraneous non-important info.
    Best instruction video I have seen in many years, and I have been on TH-cam since shortly after (March 2005) TH-cam going "live online" in February of 2005.
    Thank You. I'll be looking forward to checking with your channel first on topics I'm unfamiliar with.

Someone still had to compile it to x86 and then only with the release of Intel's libhoudini and its integration into Android-x86 did the operating system become usable since it can run apps optimized for ARM without crashing.

    If anyone is having an issue trying to install to your target hard drive, you should probably edit your partition first. For your primary partition, create a 100 MB for GRUB to automatically install to and make sure the boot flag is set for it. For the rest of your hard drive, just create a logical partition. I fought with this for hours because I had the luxury of not being able to boot from a USB drive and no burnable discs. =)

      With Photoshop the bare minimum is 2 GB Ram but they recommend 8 GB Ram so this too must have run like snail, Batman Arkham City looks like garbage, but to each his own.
      All I know is, on this piece of shit Core 2 Duo E6850 with 4 GB Ram it can't run good or recent games, it's perfect for playing games that are like 10 years old which to me is a waste of time and energy, even VMWare Workstation or VMWare Player whatever the hell it's called, won't work on this setup.

    Great instructions. Followed them to the letter to setup Android x86 to a similar HP desktop PC. Did the Live CD install first, incurred no errors so proceeded to install directly to the hard disk. Everything went smoothly. One issue though. This PC is connected via an Ethernet Cable. Under NETWORK & INTERNET, upon adding my internet provider's SSID and password, Androic-x86 created a "WIFI" network icon called "VirtWiFi". Every time I reboot my "Android PC", this "VirtWiFi" is what it connects to. The issue is that the connection gets dropped after about 30 mins, and the only way to get re-connected is to "REBOOT". When it drops the connection, going to Settings > Network & Internet is fruitless because "VirtWiFi" is not visible and clicking on the search for a Network button yields absolutely nothing, the clock just spins. At the 8:50 mark of your video you stated your Ethernet was fast, so it must work. Any ideas what my issue is? Any help would be greatly appreciated .were
