======Project: virtualbox/debian/SDL======


=====Objectives=====
this project was done in order to get the SDL libraries so I can work on my pong
=====Prerequisites=====

virtualbox
debian 
SDL libraries

=====Background=====
Oracle VM VirtualBox (formerly Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and innotek VirtualBox) is an x86 virtualization software package, created by software company Innotek GmbH, purchased in 2008 by Sun Microsystems, and now developed by Oracle Corporation as part of its family of virtualization products. Oracle VM VirtualBox is installed on an existing host operating system as an application; this host application allows additional guest operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, to be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment.

I am hoping to get this working so I can learn about virtual machines and what they can do as well as updating, upgrading and just all around becoming familiar with the system 

=====Procedure=====
  - download and install virtualbox
  - download debian, make sure you get the version that matches your processor
  - go into settings and make sure disk drive points to debian
  - up the ram
  - configure hard drive to whatever you need 
  - hit start for virtual box
  - then install debian 
  - install linux using PXE network boot
  - go into the system bios using f2 at startup
  - move cursor to the onboard devices and select it/ then integrated NIC/ then make sure you enable boot with PXE
  - press Ctrl/alt/delete to reboot the system
  - hit f12 upon startup to go into the boot menu (make sure you are connected to the network)then choose onboard network controller
  - In the lair boot menu first make sure you know the kind of processor that you are using
  - then choose either 64 bit AMD or 32 bit 1386 (we chose 32 bit 1386)
  - then click Debian/1386 netboot
  - then install squeeze/stable
  - then select desired language, country and keymap
  - then configure the network

  - select partition- fat 32(windows)
  - then select use guided- use entire disk
  - then select the harddrive to partition
  - next select the partitioning scheme- All files in one partition
  - select finish partitioning and click yes to save changes to disk
  - once the harddrive is completely partitioned, choose to take survey or not
  - then select software to install then hit continue
  - then update using apt-get update
  - then apt-get upgrades
  - then apt-get build-essential module-assistant
  - install SDL using apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
  - remove open source guest edition and install non open guest

=====Code=====
no code
