Re: [orca-list] The new fedora 12

Hi will,
I wrote a very small tutorial.
In case of interest, I can extend with more commands.

To create a open solaris virtual machine called vm1 using VirtualBox 
Version 3.1.2, use the following command:
VBoxManage createvm  --name vm1 --ostype OpenSolaris --register
Pay attention to the punctuation  and the upper cases.

to know which os types are recognized by  virtualbox, type the following:
VBoxManage list ostypes|less

To list all parameters  created to the vm1 machine, use the following 
command:
VBoxManage showvminfo vm1|less

Time to change some parameters.:

VBoxManage modifyvm vm1 --memory 512  --audio alsa

Now we need to create a disk controller.
VBoxManage storagectl vm1 --name ide0 --add ide --controller PIIX4

We need to attach a dvd/cd to our machine so that we can boot for the 
first time.
It can be a physical drive or a .iso image.
VBoxManage storageattach vm1 --type dvddrive --storagectl ide0 --port 1 
--device 0 --medium host:/dev/cdrom

The vm1 machine also needs a virtual disk so that we can install the OS.
Firstly we need to create the virtual disk.
VBoxManage createhd --filename /data/vilmar/hdvm1 --size 1000 --remember

Now attach the disk to the vm1 machine.
VBoxManage storageattach vm1 --type hdd --storagectl ide0 --port 0 
--device 0 --medium /data/vilmar/hdvm1.vdi

I believe that we can boot the vm1 machine.
VBoxManage startvm vm1
