Debian Guest Preparation

Prepare VirtualBox for Debian Guest​

note
  • When doing the installation, most of the options are DEFAULT. Possible different answers will be marked with ARROWS.
  • If you are in Guided Mode, switch to Expert Mode.
  • These are just examples, the whole examples, and nothing but examples. So please help me, GNU/Linux!

You might select other options based on your faith and religion (i.e., kepercayaan and keyakinan masing-masing).
