| + | ==LiveOS image== |
| + | Below are instructions for preparing a VirtualBox disk image from a SoaS iso image file. The process parallels the compressed [[LiveOS image]] used on Live CD and Live USB installations. |
| + | * (Taken from Dave Bauer's posting at http://schools.sugarlabs.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27.) |
| + | * Updated 16 August 2010 with [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads VirtualBox 3.2.8] and 32-bit Fedora. |
| | | |
− | # Create a new VM. | + | |
− | # Choose Linux->Fedora | + | ('''Note:''' The SoaS .iso distribution also contains an installer for full, uncompressed, hard disc images of Fedora with the Sugar graphical interface. See [[#Uncompressed, hard disc image|Uncompressed, hard disc image]] below for instructions.) |
− | # Choose 256MB | + | ===Installing SoaS .iso image=== |
− | # Create a new disk image, 2GB | + | # Create a new VM, choose a name, such as Mirabelle |
| + | # Choose Linux for the Operating System and Version Fedora (use 64 bit, if available) |
| + | # Choose Base Memory Size: 256 MB to match an XO-1, 512 or 1024 MB to match an XO-1.5 |
| + | # Create a new virtual hard disk image with dynamically expanding storage of 2 GB |
| # Finish. | | # Finish. |
− | # Download the lastest SoaS, http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/?C=M;O=D, for Fedora-11-beta. | + | # Download the lastest SoaS, http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#downloads, for Fedora 13. |
− | # Mount SoaS ISO as a CD-ROM in the newly created VM. | + | # Mount the SoaS .iso image file as a CD-ROM in the newly created VM. |
− | # Change Network Adapter to Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) | + | # Change the Network Attached to: Bridged Adapter (This allows for networking with the host computer.) |
− | #* recommended by VirtualBox for modern hosts -- Default of PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973) also worked on Ubuntu 8.10 and Vista hosts.
| + | # Start the VM |
− | #* Select Attached to: Host Interface -- allows local networking for SSH connections to probe the file system.
| + | # Enter an account name and startup Sugar. |
− | # Boot VM | |

− | # toggle 1 boot | + | # {{Code|mkpart primary ext2 0 2048}} |
− | # quit | + | #: You will receive this message:<br>Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance.<br>Ignore/Cancel? |

− | #* the --overlay-size-mb NNN option creates space for persistence of changes on the disk; otherwise, a liveOS disk is read-only.
| + | # {{Code|quit}} |
− | #* the --home-size-mb NNN option creates space for saving the /home/liveuser folder if you want to update the OS image while keeping the user files. (In this case, skip the new disk creation and parted steps and leave out the --home-size-mb NNN option at this step and continue on.) <s>(This option causes login problems on VirtualBox with the liveuser account and should be skipped for now.)</s>
| + | # {{Code|mke2fs /dev/sda1}} |
− | #* the --unencrypted-home option prevents password protection and encryption on the /home/liveuser folder. This releaves the overhead on the compressed sqaushfs and should be more robust to file system failures (outside of security).
