This page will help you get started testing the weekly VirtualBox images. This is useful if you want to test FreedomBox images without owning a DreamPlug.
Downloading Images
The most recently updated images are built by Pere:
The easiest thing might be to check out the latest VirtualBox build by downloading it over BitTorrent:
http://download.internetmachines.co.uk/tracker/freedombox-images https://www.betweennowhere.net/tracker/freedombox-unstable.torrent)-- Once you download it: Create a new VirtualBox VM. If you want to duplicate the DreamPlug experience, make sure to give it 512 MB RAM. Make sure to go into your VM's settings and check the "Enable PAE/NX" box in the [System] -> [Processor] screen.
Before booting the VM, configure the network interfaces as follows: 1. File -> Preferences -> [Network] -> [Host-only Networks] 1. VM's settings -> [Network] -> [Adapter 1] 1. VM's settings -> [Network] -> [Adapter 2] That should be enough to let you boot the VM.
You can log in as the following user: After logging in, you can become root with the command "sudo su".
