Hi:
I am trying to install Linux Mint 16 on a Virtual Box on my Windows 7 machine.
I've run into some installation issues.
Can someone point me to a tutorial that walks me through the installation process?
I've got the latest version of VirtualBox (64 bit)
I've also got the .ISO for linux mint 16 mate 64 bit.
There are a couple of tutorials which are not specific to Mint 16. I followed those, but it does not seem to install correctly.
I run through the wizard:
1) Select Linux -> Linux 2.6/3.x
2) Create the virtual drive
When I go to start the virtual machine (to install the ISO),
the box "reboots", but then does not take me to the home screen from
where I can run the Linux install from.
I looked at the logs and don't see any obvious errors or exceptions occurring.
I've attached what the basic Linux Mint page looks like when I try running.
Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JohnB
I started doing this after an IT twitter guy mentioned it and it is a bit of a learning curve.
I now have 4 versions of Linux in VB machines... but it took a while to learn how to make it work.
Google search is my best IT friend.
Cool thing about VB is you can just delete the machine you just created and start all over again in about 2 minutes.
So, try that with the help from Virtual Box.
Not sure if you read this... https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html
It's a lot of reading but just skim for highlights. Good thing about using Linux OS on virtual is it's free and you can just keep trying.
If I knew how to do a step by step guide I would do it...
