question on virtualbox and ubuntu from a new user

[cpg]

Hi there,
I recently came across Amahi while looking for an easy to use, but fully
featured alternative to a NAS, for use on my home network. I instantly liked
the idea behind your product when I saw it, and although I've never dealt
with Fedora before, I thought, 'What the hell! It can't be that hard!'.

But lo, when I put the installation DVD (about four different versions in
the end) into my drive, I got nothing but text! Seems that NVidia, or
atleast my motherboard (ASRock N68PV-GS) isn't too friendly with Fedora 10
on boot, and I wasn't able to set it up after installation, either.

So I put plain old Ubuntu back on, with the idea of running it as a virtual
machine, through Virtualbox. Which worked out rather well, even on my weedy
system. Except that I can't get to the internet on the HDA system. I've
turned off DHCP on the router and whatnot, but that only stopped internet
access on the host OS. I only really dabble in these sorts of things, so is
there something really obvious I'm missing? Perhaps the network setting for
the client? Further IP tweaking? I would really appreciate some help!

And also, what sort of timeframe do you have for Amahi on Ubuntu? It would
make my life a whole lot easier

hi!

you can try http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Self-install-existing

i.e. install an F10 with text, then add the drivers and whatnot, then install amahi on top.

as to ubuntu, does this answer your question? http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Ubuntu
