Install with Anaconda f18 in VirtualBox

This install is used when you want to install a fedora 18 desktop to a hard-disk; Virtualbox HD or a 8 GB USB.: A similar but simpler installer is entered in booted Live CD's using the command liveinst in root sugar-terminal(su) or other root terminal.
this differs from the installer on fedora 17 or older versions: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tutorials/Installation/Install_SoaS_in_VirtualBox

anaconda NuUI installer is NEW and has bugs:

http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current

A major feature of f18 is the development of newUI a new anaconda.

Sample Install to Virtualbox 4.2.4 using F18 Beta DVDx86_64

Settings In Virtualbox

Start Installer

If you select: Test this media & and install Fedora (the default) there will be 4 minute or longer wait as file checking is done There is no indication it is happening

Install Fedora (top line) has no delay.

Anaconda main Hub

WAIT until Installation source and software selection checking finishes before clicking on any spokes otherwise installer may hang.

When it finishes:

Click on each section (spoke) to change or set: click [Done] to return to main Hub

Storage (Disk Selection) then [DONE]

To format the disk or reclaim space click on [Continue] right bottome to installer

NOTE: Disk selection filters out non-selected Disks and makes them invisible to the installer

A booted dd USB will show on initial selection screen DO NOT Select it.

Example:2 Disk LVM install

SKIP this section if not using 2 Disks

Error if disk too small (8 GB) for Development and Creative Workstation +

2 30 GB disks in VirtualBox

Select both disks

Reclaim Space

Seems to necessary to select Partition type first

[+] partition scheme drop down box click > [+]

Standard Partition

BTRFS

LVM (default)

[ X ]"I don't not need help: Let me customize disk partitioning"

Skip the next section if Customize partitioning is not selected

Need at least 2 disks selected

2 disks selected

[+]Customize

Click on small [+] on right gives drop-down

Select raid

Raid setup

[Finish Partitioning]

Returns directly to Anaconda Main Hub

Note: bootloader defaults to "first" disk

Of those disks initially selected

Reclaim Space-continued

If Customize is not used

[Reclaim space]

Reclaim Disk space window

shows disk partitions with drop down boxes - default is Preserve click on Preserve; get dropdowns Preserve; Shrink; Delete

select your choice
Note in latest anaconda (18.34-1) the selections are now located on the bottom line of the reclaim window.: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/qa/20121201_f18-smoke2/

Do this for each partition shown.

When finished [Reclaim space] returns to main Hub

Click [Done] to return to main hub

Software Selection and [Done]

select left column (Environment) and right Column (Add-ons)

Gnome-desktop is default
scroll down left collumn and select sugar-desktop
Wait for software checking

Network Configuration and [Done]

recognizes wired DHCP connections if present
Wireless will show up if wlan0 is visible and supported

[Configure] to set up either connection.

Time Zone select and [Done]

Begin Installation

Appears when all warnings for unfinished spokes are gone

Root Password

Appears after install begins

Enter password on both lines and hit [back]

hit [back] a second time for a weak password.

If the root password is not entered during install; anaconda will pause at the greyed out [Finish Configuration] until it is entered.

Once the root password is entered [Finish Configuration] appears and the install will complete.

Wait for [Reboot], (or [Quit] if live), when install is completed.

Remove CD/DVD in VirtualBox/Settings/Disk settings and start your Virtual Machine

HINT: export this virtual machine before running it to save it before it runs Firstboot.

this can be later imported for use by another user.
