Thread: Booting up the fresh operatmg system

When the installation completes, disable the mounted image or CD/DVD by going to the Settings window for the virtual machine. You can also do it by clicking on Devices > Unmount CD/DVD-ROM.

Now power up the virtual machine again with the CD/DVD drive disabled. Your operating should boot up immediately. When you have it running, you can start using it and installing applications. Like a real desktop, care must be taken to shut down the operating system the right way. Files can be corrupted if care isn't taken.

Our installation of Damn Small Linux boots up without any problems with LILO installed. The distribution req uires us to crea te a roo t password. Once logged in, type startx at the prompt to start X windows. To go into full screen mode, press [Ctrlj + [Shift] + [F]. Press the same combination of keys to get out of it.
