Download the.iso file: Setting up VirtualBox - 1. Select New at the Top Toolbar. I chose 'Slax' for the name, Operating System 'Linux' and Version 'Other Linux' 3. I went with the default suggested base memory (RAM) of 256 MB and a.vdi of 8.00 GB (also named 'Slax') 4.

Type 'fdisk -l' and note the result (i.e. Vray for rhino mac. /dev/hda or /dev/sda, etc.) Rest of the instructions assume your result of fdisk -l was /dev/hda.
Substitute as needed. 3. If you are logged in as root, type 'cfdisk /dev/hda'. If not, type 'sudo cfdisk /dev/hda' 4. While in cfdisk, create a new 512 MB partition (Logical, Type Swap (82)). While in cfdisk, create a new partition with the rest of your Hard Disk (if you wish) (Primary, Type Linux, set flag to boot) 6. While in cfdisk, write the changes to the partition.
