## A2SERVER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following steps explain how to prep the A2SERVER virtual machine,
|
||
|
|
specifically [VirtualBox][1], which has the notable virtue of being free.
|
||
|
|
However, you can also use other virtual machine products, such as those from
|
||
|
|
[Parallels][2] and [VMware][3], and the process should be similar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you\'re comfortable doing so, you may also customize the steps below as you
|
||
|
|
wish, or install Ubuntu Linux natively rather than in a VM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Download [VirtualBox 4.2.10][4].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Download [Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS][5] (A2SERVER has been tested with the
|
||
|
|
32-bit version only).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Start VirtualBox, and go to Preferences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click Input. Set the host key to right-alt, and uncheck Auto Capture
|
||
|
|
Keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click OK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click New to create a new virtual machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Enter *A2SERVER* as the VM name, and select Linux/Ubuntu as the operating
|
||
|
|
system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Enter 256 MB for memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Under Virtual Hard Disk, leave the defaults (Start-up Disk, and Create new
|
||
|
|
hard disk).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Choose VMDK for hard disk file type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Leave the virtual disk file as Dynamically allocated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Leave the virtual disk file location as A2SERVER, and set the disk size to
|
||
|
|
32 GB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click Create, and then again in the next window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click Settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click Storage. Click on \"Empty\" under \"IDE Controller\".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click on the small CD icon on the far right of the window, select \"Choose a
|
||
|
|
virtual CD/DVD disk file...\", and choose the Ubuntu Server file you
|
||
|
|
downloaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click Network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Change \"Attached To:\" to \"Bridged Adapter\".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Change \"Name:\" to a **wired** network interface on your computer. If you
|
||
|
|
don\'t have one, use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter. (A2SERVER won\'t work over
|
||
|
|
Wi-Fi when running in a VM.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Optional but recommended: Under Advanced, change the MAC Address to
|
||
|
|
080003F2FF59.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Click OK.
