First new (to me anyway) item was that when I right-clicked on an empty space below the files to get a menu I needed to point to Actions to get a submenu that has an Open Terminal Here choice so I could get a terminal console at the VB guest additions files location. Again this is all normal stuff for a VB install. I go to the Virtual Box Devices drop down menu, choose Install Guest Additions., wait until that ISO is mounted, double-click my Home Folder, then chose VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.3_74291 from the left column to see the contents. Ok, on to step 2 to install the VB Guest Additions so I can get full screen on my 1920 x 1080 HD monitor, plus all the other items it provides to the guest OS. I do a shutdown, go back to the VirtualBox System settings to set the hard drive as the first boot device, restart, answer another few questions, and voila, I have Mageia up and running in VirtualBox 4.1.4 (lastest version as I write this) at the default 1024 x 768 resolution.Īt this point I'm really liking Mageia as the install was a breeze and easier to do than my favorite Linux Mint 11 VB install. Great, I'm immediately liking the KDE desktop look and so I ran the installer, answered all questions and configuration options/choices, watched it install, and I'm ready to reboot. I double-clicked the new VM and the Live Boot CD (ISO image) of Mageia ran smoothly and perfectly. This is all normal for VirtualBox and I'd done this for Ubuntu 11.04 and Linux Mint 11. Finally I deleted the default IDE DVD and created a new SATA DVD and told VirtualBox to mount my Mageia ISO image, went back to the System setting and changed the boot order so the DVD with the ISO image is the first boot device. I have an Intel Core-i5 660 cpu so I can use 2 cpu's and turn on the PAE/NX option and turn on Enable 3D Acceleration. No problem, I just created a new VM, told VB to use Linux and Mandriva, set my memory size, disk, video memory size, sound, etc. Hello, I'm new to Mageia so when it came time to install it I wanted to use VirtualBox 4.1.4 running in my Windows 7 64-bit Host OS.
