virtual box install
Hello This list seems pretty empty, so may be it's usefull to use it? I try to setup some infos for testing the future openSUSE 10.2 I think that the first simpler way to test a new distro is installing in VirtualBox. I choosed to use the non OSS, Sun VirtualBox version because most of my devices are USB :-( I found no way to install directly from factory, the mini CD fails with "no repository". I was said isos are buggy... so I installed the minimal openSUSE 11.1, changed the source to factory/repo.oss and nonoss and zypper up did the job. I could then use YaST to install kde4. I had minor problems doing so, but finally could install as well the virtualbox extensions Main problems where : no grafical interface (even with 512Mo ram given to virtualbox) and some others I didn't remember I think we should provide two things to testers: * a minimal set of install system to test, beginning with the minicd, then minimal dvd, to test the install itself (may be restructed to images, even empty images on the beginning) * compressed VirtualBox already installed images to test the applications. Various images could be given are various times, more complete when debugging goes well This could ake the testing much more effective. I wait for advice before going far more ahead jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
