− | <ol>
| |
− | <li>Go to <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmmanager" target="_blank" title="http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmmanager">http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmmanager</a> and get <strong>VMmanager</strong>, </li>

| |
− | <li>Tab Hard Disk: Unselect "Allocate all disk space now" We'll make the hard drive bigger in a moment. This is working around a small bug that requires all the disk space to be present when you create the machine, even if you don't allocate it all at the beginning.</li>
| |
− | <li>Keep Selected "Split into 2GB files"</li>
| |
− | <li>Tab Ethernet: Ethernet 0, NAT, Ethernet 1 Bridged</li>
