Running Windows in Virtualbox 4.2.4
Thanks Gobbi, Smokey01, Jamesbond.
I the script Gobbi gave it showed message as downloading. But no progress bar of wget. I don't know where to look for it. Due to my slow net connection it stopped and exited after 1hr with only 12mb file virtualbox-4.3.8-92456-Linux_amd64.run downloaded in temp folder.
So I downloaded the file directly from virtualbox website on my android and also downloaded extension pack for it, transferred them to my pc.
Installed virtualbox by just clicking on that .run file.
Now virtualbox manager starts from menu entry.
also I quickly cerated Precise Puppy machine and it boots OK.
Now going to try win7 64bit.
Just want to know if I start my fatdog with no savefile and install virtualbox and save multisession, later rename the savefile as a virtualbox.sfs will its loading unloading work as other sfs files?

Re: Running Windows in Virtualbox 4.2.4
Hi @Neerajkolte
It never occurred to me until just now, that this is probably what @JamesBond viewed when he introduced this save-session approaches we see at Bootmanager starts.
My gut feel is "yes you can", but, I feel something might be missing in my view.
This is a very good and interesting question. It suggests that FATDOG can be booted pristine, then sometime after desktop start, this SFS can be loaded to make system current from its last use of the SFS. Then, at some point, maybe, this SFS during end of session can be updated and saved for future use in same-similar manner. Very interesting and logical thought.neerajkolte wrote:...

yes sfs multisession saves can be renamed and used much like a regular sfs. My trick is to set everything up. Compile until make install. Then force a save session prior to install.. That is my building and or source saved.. Then make install...
Play with it config etc then force a save session again that is my finished sfs to rename.. kinda sloppy but simple...
not good for mass distribution may also have other stuff saved with it.. But for family and friends a quick and recoverable method..
Also those sfs seem to work fine in Slacko64.... win win

FatDog Devs have explained "all" about the save file in the FAQ
for Fatdog. I had this one first time and then changed to the
second example after all was set up and a savefile created.

Code: Select all
title FatDog64 No save file
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /fd64/vmlinuz savefile=none
initrd /fd64/initrd
title FatDog64 with save file after using the above to boot first.

LXC works. It's alive!
I was able to get a LXC sandbox to setup a network bridge. Yeah! The instructions I followed were at https://wiki.debian.org/LXC/SimpleBridge which worked almost word for word once I figured out the meaning of the parameters.
The isolation appears much higher than CHROOT, to the extent that proc, devices, and networks are also sandboxed. Still playing with it.

Can I install fatdog on android device based on Telechips Processor ? If yes then how can I flash rom with fat dog.
If it is the same ARM CPU version that they use
if not then you have to learn compiling from the
sources?
cpu vrif not then you are on your own
having to compile the code from sources.
The CPU you name does it not have a ARM number tile ARM 10
or similar.

hybrid mode mbr uefi disaster..
Got A little too brave and tried to setup the illogical mix mode harddrive. My USB flashdrives seem to work fine. But once my laptop windows8.1 got into game it self destructed after a day of wasted effort. Windows got stuck in Automatic Repair Mode. And loop and looped for ever.
I am guessing that is why nobody recommends doing this... lessons learnt.

Ted Dog very good that you report this.
It is also why I have postponed the frugal install
of Puppy on the device that I have. A Packard Bell
I wait until I personally get what is needed to be done
and in what order it should take place

Running Windows in Virtualbox (solved)
Sorry for delay in reply, yesterday I was busy due to festival. (just throwing coloured water filled baloons at whoever comes my way )
I tried to install win7 64bit home premium. The installation exited after compliting 98 percent. The only error message it gave me was 'invalid system settings found'.
Got to fiddle with settings.
Will do that when I get home from work today and add solved to subject description as soon as widows7 boots.
Thanks nooby for reminding me about faq and savefile boot options.

I used fatdog64 630 with many many multisession blueRay data discs and backed up three hardrives and what did not fit was copied to a less used harddrive for safe keeping. One of the hardrives was played with and killed my windows8.1 after almost two days of updates... Had to scrub that mismatched mess I made and rebuild now back to windows8 and only 43 more updates to go. Did hide the preloader to 8.1 upgrade update.. Never planning to go that route again 8.1 only made it even worse.
Im having Fatdog64 withdrawl

Running Windows in Virtualbox 4.2.4 (solved)
Well not from 4.2.4 but from 4.3.8.
I now have
1) windows7 64 bit home basic (Office 2010, Tally9, and few games installed),
2) ubuntu 13.10,
running successfully in my fatdog.
Only thing remains is making Virtualbox-4.3.8-64bit.sfs

How to update Firefox nightly.
If you compile your own Firefox you're supposed to get permission to use the official branding. Since we compile it and don't use official Mozilla binaries it's called Nightly.kirk wrote:How to change Firefox from nightly to default one?
My Question: If there is no way to remove nightly, how do we at least update it? This version 27 does not have the update button on the about page.
Hope you could help, cheers!

2. Close all your browser windows
3. Open terminal, and from within terminal (as root):
a) rm -rf /usr/lib64/firefox
b) tar -xf /path/to/downloaded/firefox-28.tar.bz2 -C /usr/lib64
4. Restart your browser.
That's it. You are now running official firefox version, which you can update as you wish.
If you ever want to switch back to the built-in firefox (nightly):
1. Open terminal, and from within terminal (as root):
a) rm -rf /usr/lib64/firefox
b) ln -s firefox-27.0 /usr/lib64/firefox

used it with some puppy distros with mixed results. Slacko is ok, lighthouse64 also ok.
Is there a way to load a save file for the secondary "hosted" distro in the script and use it as a permanent save state solution for it (manual or auto save)? Is it also possible to load some sfs files from the script and how? "Thanks!"
