FREE Pre-Installed SalixOS Virtual Appliance

Post by VirtualBoxImages.com »

Hello,

Congratulations to the SalixOS Team for putting together a wonderful distro.

Just completed installing SalixOS 13.02 in VirtualBox and made the Virtual Appliance available to the community for download via torrent.
You can download the virtual appliance here:
http://virtualboximages.com/SalixOS-13. ... +Appliance

Using the SalixOS Virtual Appliance, you need only install VirtualBox on your existing computer and you can run SalixOS on your system. VirtualBox runs on Windows 7, XP, Vista, Mac OSX, and most linux systems.
You can download VirtualBox for FREE from Sun Microsystems here:
http://VirtualBox.org

Hope this helps someone.
-James

Thanks James!
Just a note: you should install the kernel-source package before running the guest additions:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i kernel-source

Are the guest additions installed or not? If not I'd update (if that is possible) the .vdi with working guest additions. I already had/have some installation of Salix with them.

Build Notes:
The VBoxGuestAdditions script ran with out error but
-The mouse integration does not work
-The Auto-Resize Guest Display does not work
For me this means, that kernel source was not installed.
