1. Install VirtualBox under Fedora 9

Go to the official VirtualBox Homepage. Some warnings may appear during the installation process, because you have not installed the kernel-devel package and have not performed any related configuration.

Ii. Configuration

1. Add a software package: Install the kerne-devel package.

2. Add yourself to the vboxusers group: sudo/usr/sbin/usermod-a-G vboxusers yourname.

3. recompile and start vboxdrv: sudo/etc/init. d/vboxdrv setup.

Now VirtualBox is successfully installed.

Iii. Precautions for installing Windows xp

1. When creating a VM, make sure that the system type option matches the system you want to install.

2. Ensure that sufficient spare memory is reserved for Fedora 9 during memory allocation. I once tried to allocate my 1 GB memory to a virtual machine, causing frequent system crashes.

3. Virtual Machine Settings

The a audio card driver is recommended to select "PulseAudio". I have tried other drivers and cannot hear windows.

B shared directory is the main channel for interaction between virtual machines and hosts. After adding the directory to the virtual machine, you can mount the shared directory through "ing network drive" in windows.

4. Remember to install VBoxGuestAdditions, which can be mounted through CD/rom iso files. After installation, you will find that many "X" files in your Device Manager are missing. Take me as an example. Before installation, the Graphics card driver of mine is handlled and changed to VirtualBox Graphics Adapter after installation.
