[arch-general] Archlinux on a virtualbox
I can't seem to find out how to set up a network on a freshly installed virtualbox with archlinux. Any pointers to help appreciated. Richard
Hi Richard, that deppend on what you want to do. If you create a network device in the VM and is using nat, in the guest machine you only have to execute a dhcp client. dhcpcd for example will do. Other VirtualBox Network configurations may be a little different. 2009/6/29 richard terry <rterry@pacific.net.au>

the Am79C973 adapter attached to NAT (default) works for me in Virtualbox. if you compiled your own kernel you need to enable the correnct network device driver. it's an AMD <something> if i remember correctly in ethernet 10 100. if you are using the stock kernel, it's already enabled. all you need to do is: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide#Wired_LAN (and make sure that the /etc/rc.d/network is running) -- If we could implement a physical system with the storage capacity that matches the 128-bit address range of ZFS, that we would "literally evaporate all the oceans on earth". [...] Okay. The oceans are history! So are we. But ZFS will live forever. Dave Brillhart

I've done this before (Arch Linux in VirtualBox guest) and the stock kernel does infact work without much fuss. A simple dhcpd gets you where you need to be fairly quickly. Just my .02 -jon
