Virtual box under porteus 5.0

Post#1 by francois » 28 Mar 2023, 09:45

It has been sometime since I used virtualbox under porteus linux. Under porteus 5.0. I will report my use of this software here. It is very useful to test any linux amongst other. Personally, I need it to test porteus to debug printing features under porteus 5.0 but also I would like to work with a full slackware install under virtualbox.

I am rusted once again. Here are a few useful links:
virtualbox: do you have a working installation under porteus?

Shared folders install:
Virtualbox Shared Folder Help

You have to install crippled sources to be able to use the virtualbox builder
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/port ... .0/kernel/

Then:
xfce menu > system > vboxbuilder > option virtualbox

Report your impressions or any pertinent information on using virtualbox under porteus 5.0 here.

Thanks.
