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

virtualbox debian SDL libraries

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

1. download and install virtualbox
2. download debian, make sure you get the version that matches your processor
3. go into settings and make sure disk drive points to debian
4. up the ram
5. configure hard drive to whatever you need
6. hit start for virtual box
7. then install debian
8. install linux using PXE network boot
9. go into the system bios using f2 at startup
10. move cursor to the onboard devices and select it/ then integrated NIC/ then make sure you enable boot with PXE
11. press Ctrl/alt/delete to reboot the system
12. hit f12 upon startup to go into the boot menu (make sure you are connected to the network)then choose onboard network controller
13. In the lair boot menu first make sure you know the kind of processor that you are using
14. then choose either 64 bit AMD or 32 bit 1386 (we chose 32 bit 1386)
15. then click Debian/1386 netboot
16. then install squeeze/stable
17. then select desired language, country and keymap
18. then configure the network
19. then install the grub boot loader
20. the choose continue
21. choose a hostname and domain name of your choice
22. then select debian mirror country- scroll to the top and choose enter info manually
23. enter host name- mirrorand hit enter
24. mirror debian archive/ debian then hit enter
25. on select proxy screen leave blank and hit enter
26. enter root password iinfo and user account info of your choosing
27. then enter desired time zone
28. select partition- fat 32(windows)
29. then select use guided- use entire disk
30. then select the harddrive to partition
31. next select the partitioning scheme- All files in one partition
32. select finish partitioning and click yes to save changes to disk
33. once the harddrive is completely partitioned, choose to take survey or not
34. then select software to install then hit continue
35. then update using apt-get update
36. then apt-get upgrades
37. then apt-get build-essential module-assistant
38. install SDL using apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
39. remove open source guest edition and install non open guest

no code

finally I have the SDL tutorials!!!!!!!
