Assistance is welcome in verifying that the settings on this wiki page match those we are using in {{project_name_short}} source code. This ensures that no settings have been forgotten. If interested, click on Expand on the right.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
In {{project_name_short}} source code,  examine {{Code2|build-steps.d/2500_create-vbox-vm}} for the functions general_setup and workstation_specific. Apply any missing settings from {{Code2|build-steps.d/2500_create-vbox-vm}}. It is also sensible to drop the "sudo -u $USERNAME" setting.

The following settings are not required. They are either recommended earlier on, or done by the gui creation process:

* --name
* storagectl
* storageattach
* --memory
* --pae
* --intnet1
* --cableconnected
* --macaddress1
* --audiocontroller
* --audio
* --rtcuseutc
