You can now play with SliTaz GNU/Linux on Windows with VirtualBox. Required:

• SliTaz GNU/Linux Image, the virtual machine.
• Oracle VirtualBox software, binaries for Windows.
• 7-Zip, needed to decompress the file.

• Download and install 7-Zip - necessary to decompress the files.
• Download and install the Oracle VitualBox software.
• Download and decompress the virtual machine somewhere on your local hard drive.

Before running SliTaz GNU/Linux virtual machine you need to configure a new virtual machine in the VirtualBox software.

1. Run virtualbox [Start/Programms/Oracle xVM VirtualBox/VirtualBox].
2. Add a new Machine: Click on [New] toolbar button.
3. Click [Next] in the “ Create New Virtual Machine ” dialog box.
4. Give a name to your new virtual machine ( i.e: SliTaz GNU/Linux ), and select Linux 2.6 in OS Type list and click [Next] .
5. Select the amount of memory for the virtual machine. 256MB default should be sufficient.
6. In the “ Virtual Hard Disk ” dialog box click on the [Existing] button to use your SliTaz virtual disk.
7. The Virtual Disk Manager start. Click the [Add] toolbar button, locate and select the VDI file (i.e: slitaz-1.9-x86.vdi ).
8. Click on [Next] and [Finish].

If you wish to set up a network using the Host-only adapter, follow these instructions:

1. Click on the [Settings] toolbar button
2. Click on [Network] in the side menu
3. Select the Network Adapter (usually Adapter 1) and set it for Host-only networking
4. Click on the Advanced arrow
5. Change the Adapter Type to PCnet-FAST III
6. Click on OK

The default Intel adapter seems to work fine for NAT, but not for Host-only networking.

You can now play with your new SliTaz GNU/Linux virtual machine.

You can install the open source edition of virtualbox (free software) in SliTaz with the package virtualbox-ose:

# tazpkg get-install virtualbox-ose

This is a restricted version without USB support.

How to Improve	We have get-virtualbox pkg now? Can we remove linux-source dependency from get-virtualbox like nvidia?
