Setting up Fedora 10 on vbox

I wanted to play around with my own instance of Fedora 10 on vbox so here is what I did:

• Download the latest version of Sun's Virtual Box
• Download the Live version of Fedora 10
• Create a virtual machine - default mostly just up the ram to 1GB
• Mount the Fedora 10 live iso to the CD ROM mount
• Start up the virtual machine.
• The Fedora 10 Live OS will boot up with an option for copying the Live version to disk. Real simple install. Follow the prompts.
• Once the OS is copied start it up.
• Supply a username and password.
• Next tell the system to auto update (make sure you enabled the network card on the virtual machine).
• When that is complete, download the GNU compiler (yum install gcc).
• Next download the GNU Make source , this is needed to install the virtual box additions that allow for better full screen control and mouse control.
• From the unpacked folder of the Make source code run ./configure to prepare the source code for the system.
• then run sh build.sh to build the make executable.
• then run ./make install to install the binaries and ./make clean to clean up the source code when you are done.
• I wanted to get the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed, and the above was not sufficient, I needed to install some additional commponents. I found this forum talking about the issue I was having and used this command to get the right dependencies installed

• yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

• The above command worked and the Guest Additions were successfully installed.
