Module -2

Object: Install different OS in VMware.

Resource:
Oracle VirtualBox
Get Kali | Kali Linux

Installing a Guest operating system:


Next step will be installing an operating system. I
have chosen OpenSolaris distribution, which is
also free. There are 2 options to get OpenSolaris.
One is to download the .iso file from this site:
https://www.kali.org/

The second option is to order a CD from this site:


https://www.kali.org/. It will ask you to register
and then enter your name and address and a copy
of OpenSolaris will be sent to your home for free.
I chose the second option since I could use the CD
as a live CD and play with OpenSolaris first before
installing it.

1- Place the CD into the disc drive and open


VirtualBox. Now hit New in the upper left side of
the window
2- A Wizard installation will show up and just
follow the steps. We will be naming the OS to be
installed, I chose the name “Kali”. Also select
OpenSolaris in the drop down menu.
3- Now we will set the system memory. This
means how much RAM the Guest operating
system will be using. OpenSolaris recommends a
minimum of 512 MB. I selected 1 GB or 1000MB

4- Now is the turn of the Hard Drive. You will be


setting the size of hard drive that we can use for
this Guest Operating system (Fig 1.7). You will
have 2 options; Fixed-size image and dynamically
expanding image. I would recommend selecting
dynamically expanding image because this means
that initially, the image will take a small amount
of hard drive when installed.
5- the size that you expect the Guest OS will use. I
selected 16 GB. If you want to assign a different
partition (other than C:\) where the Virtual Drive
will be, you can choose it here. I have created a
special partition for the VirtualBox previously its
installation. I suggest doing the same since you
don’t want to delete any data you already have in
your Host operating system by accident.
6. Hit next and now you will have the
confirmation of the settings.
If you want to change any of the settings, just hit
back to do so.
Once you have confirmed the system memory,
the hard drive memory and its location, hit finish.
7- We have created a Virtual Machine for Kali in
Virtual Box. You can see the VirtualBox and the
new Virtual Machine on the left side of the
screen. On the right side you can see the settings
that you have created for the Guest OS.
8. Now that you have the Virtual Machine
OpenSolaris, next will be installing the
OpenSolaris operating system. Hit start and select
the CD where the OS will boot.
9- Now we have the Kali OS booting from the Pen
Drive.

10. Next screen will ask you to select the language


and keyboard layout. I selected English for both.
11- After selecting the language, you are already
working with the Live CD. To install the OS, just
double click in the Install Kali Icon placed on the
desktop.
12- Follow the installation process. Special
attention must be taken when selecting the
partition where the Guest OS will be located. I
selected the partition that I had already created
for VirtualBox.
13- The next steps will ask you to set the time
zone, country location, and user and root
passwords. Choose a password that you will
remember.
13- Now the installation will start. This process
will take about an hour or so.

14- Once completed, the screen will ask you to


reboot the Guest OS. This will only reboot the
Guest OS in the VirtualBox, not the Host OS.
15- After the reboot is completed, open your
Guest operating system (OpenSolaris) again in the
VirtualBox. Log in entering the password you have
chosen and you now have two operating systems
in your computer; Windows 10 or 11 and Kali.
