How to install Ubuntu 10.10 in Virtual box


1. Open virtual box at Kmenu-System-Oracle VM Virtual Box
2. Click Button “New” on the top-corner to create new virtual-box machine

3. Click next

4. Type the OS name based on your want, then choose the OS type, choose Linux for operating System and “Ubuntu” for the type, then click next.

5. Allocate memory size for the OS, the recommended memory for Ubuntu is 512mb, but you can change (decrease or increase) it. But, remember it must be smaller from your physical memory size.

After define your allocating memory, click Next.
6. In this step you will create hard disk for the OS. If you have not created it, choose “Create New Hard disk”, then click Next. But if you have created if, choose “use existing hard disk”, then choose the hard disk that will be used for installing the OS, then click Next.

7. The next step is to create a new virtual disk for your virtual machine. You can choose VDI (virtual box disk image)

8. Then define whether the new virtual disk file should be allocated as it is used or if it should be created fully allocated. The are two options here :
            a. A dynamically allocated virtual disk file will only use space on your physical hard disk as it fills up, although it will not shrink again automatically when space on it is freed.
            b. A fixed size virtual disk file may take longer to create on some systems but is often faster to use.

I recommend you to choose the first one.

9.Then type the name of the new virtual disk file into the box below or click on the folder icon to select a different folder to create the file in.

10. Be sure your all settings before is correct. If you sure, click create, and you will have the new virtual machine.















11. To. Install Ubuntu, select at the virtual machine that have been created, then click “Start” button, click next.


12. Select the media which contains the setup program of the operating system you want to install, click Next.

13. Click “Start”, to start installation...
