wtf is Create new virtual machine?

[wetlinux]

@Micbuns1 In VirtualBox you can create a new virtual machine by clicking on "New" and that starts the Wizard for creating a new virtual machine. Cheers, Mike

sir am not able to run lex program example; sir am not able to run lex program example;

its showing bash:lex:command not found

what shud i do pls.......help

[wetlinux]

@esterski1 Hi, In Fedora 15, lex is in /usr/bin. If it is not there, install it by typing sudo -c "yum install lex" and then give the root password. Thanks, Mike

Whoa....hold on. Newbie here!!! After you say "thanks" this whole thing leaves me hanging. How do we start the program after we log in with our Login ID and Password. I just see a command line interface.

[wetlinux]

@TubeScotts Hi, The command line gives you direct access to running programs and modifying configuration files. Servers usually run in command line mode to avoid the overhead of a GUI. If you are used to Windows or MAC OS-X, the command line will seem a bit strange and you may be happier in a GUI. Cheers, Mike

Hi mike, thx for your tutorials, very helpful...

I've installed F16 and tried to follow this tut... Went pretty well until trying to type the commands... there quite a lot of differents for the paths and ive been unable to locate the grub.conf for example....

Can you help me out for this part pls?

Or can i be cheeky and ask for a short fedora 16 tut? :)

Why is your name wetlinux?

[skmCry]

Great Tutorial! =)

For me as someone, who hasn´t been in touch with Fedora yet, was this the perfect tutorial to learn some basics and how to install Fedora on a virtual machine.

Keep up the great work, thanks a lot :-)

@TubeScotts Don't do all the shit this guy does it's for just geeks. After the installation just finished you're good to go.

@wetlinux okay thank u..



[wetlinux]

@kkelvekar5 Hi, to install nano, type sudo -c "yum install nano" and give the root password. Cheers, Mike

[kkelvekar5]

my "nano" command was not found...it said nano command not found..what to do now??

[TubeScotts]

OK, I've heard your comment about startx, so I use that to start my GUI. My question is, how can reverse what we did by changing boot to runlevel 3? I want it to boot up normally. Thanks!

[rossj81]

I am in a Unix class that allows you to access a virtual machine and within the virtual machine access a Linux OS (another virtual machine) for exercises. Process is ridiculously slow. Your tutorial has made my this learning experience so much easier. Thanks! I'll share with my classmates.

[KonKaji]

very good video, thanks

I'm still not used to linux so I really appreciate the explanations for customization

[ELQUITO12]
