Linux

I know this is tedious for you.

I'll start some now.

I will get to it in the am then off to a commitment I'd rather not go to. We can chip away as time allows.

Right now I have 2 new downloads on my desktop.

not tedious at all peter, and once you get the hang of it you'll wonder why you thought it was complicated.

ok -ready for about 20 minutes

yes just start virtualbox and click on new then post a screenshot of what is shown.

ok

I don't know why it says mint as I only clicked new

type mint in name box and click on next.

 

I don't know why it says mint as I only clicked new

didn't notice that, close the create vm window, then right click on mint and then click remove then click on delete all files, now there shouldn't be anything showing there, now click on new and type mint in the name window and click next and post a screenshot.

Here

ok i'd set that to 2048 and click next.

I took some obvious steps. Now what to set it to?

click just to the right of the 8 in the box where it says 8.00 and delete the 8 and replace it with 10 then click next.

It clicked create after clicking to do so and it is done so far. So signing off till the am necessarily and thank you

Good morning terry,

I wrote to you about 7:30 EST.

I tinkered and I seem to have installed Mint in the VM.

I am not sure how I got it to work but it seems to be basically OK. I think some settings should be looked at.

Additions are a feature I have read that are important but I am unsure of that.

I'll check in, now and then, but will be gone from noon to 9 PM.

Maybe we can talk in my a.m., or tomorrow. I'll bet we set a record for the length of a thread. However, with your tutoring me. I will have the knack of a VM which I have always wanted. I need to be able to share with my desktop and to learn how to test a program before installing it, among other things.

TY

Peter

!!!!!!! PS I must have closed out of the VM wrong b/c when I went to double click the icon to open it later, it said repair or remove; I clicked repair.

What did i do wrong, if I may ask?
