Finally, while still on the Settings window, select General on the left-hand menu and configure video memory according to the operating system’s requirements.
Then click on the ISO Image File option to select your ISO file.ġ0. Select CD/DVD-ROM on the left-hand menu and enable the Mount CD/DVD Drive option. The newly created virtual machine now appears on the VirtualBox interface, but still needs some configuration. After creating the virtual disk, you’re back again to the previous wizard. Again, this setting depends on your actual hardware components (i.e., the size of your hard drive) and the operating system’s requirements.ħ. Select the size of the hard drive for the virtual machine. Select the type of disk you want – dynamically expanding or fixed size.Ħ. Now we’re in the Virtual Disk Creation wizard. As you won’t have any created yet, click on New.ĥ. Use VirtualBox for testing deployments that require multiple machines which must interact via network - VirtualBox. The next step requires you to select a hard drive for the virtual machine. Use VirtualBox for running software developed for different operating systems on your single physical machine simultaneously without the need to install multiple operating systems on a physical machine, and reboot to change the OS. The amount you decide to select depends on how much RAM you have and how much the virtual OS needs.Ĥ. Assign a portion of your RAM memory to the virtual machine. Give your VirtualBox machine a name and select the OS type.ģ.
Once you’ve got the ISO image file of the OS you want to test, launch VirtualBox and click on New.Ģ. You only need to be a bit patient because these image files are usually massive and can take a long time to complete downloading.ġ. There are many sources from which you can obtain them. The first step is obviously downloading the ISO file with the operating system you want to try out. This may be the best way to take your first steps in Linux, for example.
#How to install os x 10.3 using virutalbox how to
A few months ago I wrote a post about the two most popular virtual machine solutions ( VMware vs VirtualBox) but today I’m going to focus on the latter, and explain how to install and run a new operating system in VirtualBox with an ISO file.
