How to install Lupu_528 as guest in vbox 4.1.4?
Posted: Wed 26 Oct 2011, 00:50
I am new to Puppy and would like to install it as a guest OS within vbox 4.1.4 (host is win7 laptop). I'm a bit new to vbox as well.
I've tried searching and reading various posts, but am a bit unclear on a few items (probably basic).
Here's what I've tried thus far:
- downloading lupu-528.iso
- firing up a new vm and capturing the iso to install
I'm not entirely sure how to proceed with:
1) installing the guest additions so I can define and access shared folders
2) should I do something to make the VM a "frugal" install (disk based), or ??
I have seen the posts about the kernel sources and what not for being able to install the guest additions, but most are short on actual "do this then that".
I see the following files under http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ppy-5.2.8/:
lupu_devx_528.sfs
lupu_devx_528-2.sfs
lupu_devx_528-3.sfs
Do I just need -3 as the most recent? How do I install it? Once I install it, can I then follow the "standard" procedure for installing linux guest additions (https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic ... 29&t=15679)
And what about setting up the installation to be on the "virtual HD filesystem" vs liveCD? Should I do that? If so, how?
I'll stop there with questions for now
Side note (shouldn't matter) - the host OS is windows7 with bitkeeper activated. This prevents me from doing stuff that accesses the disk outside of an actual windows login (since it's all encrypted).
