 ====== Convert AstLinux install files to VirtualBox ======
+!!Obsolete info with AstLinux 1.2.5 and later.!!  Use the ISO Installer Image.

 You can convert an astlinux-XX.img file to a [[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads|VirtualBox]] .vdi file and have a bootable system with a few simple steps.

   - Download an AstLinux 'geni586' .img.gz file
   - Decompress the image using gunzip, yielding a .img file
-  - Use the VBoxManage utility to convert the image to a virtual disk
+  - Use the VBoxManage (CLI) utility ([[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads|VirtualBox]]) to convert the image to a virtual disk
 Example:
-  gunzip astlinux-1.0.1-asterisk-1.8.8.1.img.gz
+  gunzip astlinux-1.2.3-asterisk-11.18.0.img.gz
-  VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI astlinux-1.0.1-asterisk-1.8.8.1.img astlinux-1.0.1.vdi
+  VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI astlinux-1.2.3-asterisk-11.18.0.img astlinux-1.2.3.vdi
 //The formats VDI, VMDK and VHD are supported.//
+Here is the complete manual of the [[https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idp46854861724896|VBoxManage convertfromraw]] command.

 Then you can then resize the image...

 Example (let's say 2 GB):
-  VBoxManage modifyhd --resize 2048 astlinux-1.0.1.vdi
+  VBoxManage modifyhd --resize 2048 astlinux-1.2.3.vdi
 Then simply create a new VirtualBox virtual machine using this .vdi file as the disk (I used a network bridge (en0) and the PCnet-Fast III adapter for the 'geni586' image on a Mac).
+Start the AstLinux Virtual Machine...
 Finally, configure using the normal **[[userdoc:new-install|setup]]**.

 In my case it was ''/dev/hdb'', you can verify this with '''fdisk -l'''. \\ */
