R: [fluka-discuss]: difficulty with FLUPIX installation

Dear Jean-Pierre,

it is not necessary to burn the .iso file to run flupix under the
VirtualBox.

Here some basic settings that can help you to start:

 

- Create a virtual machine based on Linux 2.6

- Set Flupix.vdi as IDE Primary Master (HDD)

- Set Swap.vdi as IDE Primary Slave (HDD)

- Set Flupix-XXX.iso as IDE Secondary Master (CD/DVD)

- N° of CPU, memory, etc up to you (depending on your PC specs)

 

Cheers,

 

Angelo

Oggetto: [fluka-discuss]: difficulty with FLUPIX installation

 

Dear all,

 

I am a FLUKA beginner, and did not understand some possible subtleties in
FLUPIX installation:

- I did install successfully the VirtualBox (two steps: the
extension pack turns out to be required if the USB controller is enabled)

- I downloaded flupix…iso, that wanted to burn a DVD, done. I did
not know too much what to do with flupix-vdi.zip, that I loaded on the DVD
as well (it comes in virtual disk image)

- Now the problem: under point 4 of the Flupix installation manual “CD/DVD
rom”, I could not recognize the elements corresponding to the instructions
of 2008,
                CD/DVD-ROM

                [x] Mount CD/DVD Drive

                (o) ISO Image File

                    Click on the Folder Icon

                    Click on Add

                    Find the flupix-XXX.iso

                    Click Select

   No folder icon, no _at_ add_at_, no flupix-XXX.iso on the DVD, rather folders
isolinux and LIveOS, + flupix and swap in .vdi

- When I start the VM, it halts with could not read the boot
medium, which, I presume, is related to the former point.

 

Any help much welcome.

 

Jean-Pierre
