Problems Installing via VirtualBox

[chome5]

Got the iso file but when it loads, I don't get an install situation. Instead I get a dox-like box asking me to select desktop. I choose KDE and it then goes to a KDE desktop instead of an expected install wizard/menu.

What am I doing wrong?

What ISO file are you using?
Adam

Using: PCBSD9.0-x86-DVD-live

Tried downloading 'PCBSD9.0-x86-VBOX.vdi.bz2' for use with VirtualBox but the download kept on failing. Plus, the '.vdi.bz2' extension is like nothing I've seen before since I last used Linux!!

This is really a FreeBSD forum. PCBSD related questions should be posted at http://forums.pcbsd.org/ instead.

bunzip -d PCBSD....vdi.bz2

then run the image.

I just took a quick look at http://www.pcbsd.org/en/download.html and the file you downloaded is a compressed VirtualBox VM hard drive file. Once it's extracted, you need to add the VDI file to your VirtualBox VM as a hard drive.

I'll get on to the responses later. Thanks.

I'll also let the administrator know that this thread should be moved/deleted.

Thanks again....
