Hello, Has anyone had experience setting up a virtual machine? I am having trouble installing the operating system. Which VM software program do you recommend? I am taking a course that recommends Virtual Box, but I can use any program. I need to set up a VM that runs windows 10. Thank you, Mike
If you use VMWare workstation, you can get audio during the installation, even during that of Windows server. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Mike Fulton Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 11:05 AM To: Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] setting up a VM Hello, Has anyone had experience setting up a virtual machine?

hi there, correct me if i'm incorrect, for a windows 10 install i.e creatores update control plus windows key plus enter should launch narrator from the dvd iso image. for windows server, I don't know, i'll let the experts answer that one for you.

I use virtualbox all the time but on linux. If there is ny configuration you can do in the gui that you cannot do at the command line instead, I'd be surprised. You might have more control at the command line than you do in the gui. I wrote a bunc of scripts that allow me to create virtual machines in seconds. Those scripts might be a case of me re-inventing the wheel though because I am told there is a linux utility called vagrant that allows you to create a specifications file, run vagrant, and it creates a virtual machine for you. I am going to have to check that out. But I've been very happy with virtualbox. One cool thing about virtualbox is that you can do a screen cap at the command line. When a virtual machine won't boot, I take a screen shot, feed it to tesseract OCR, and I can usually figure out what is wrong. On 08/30/2017 07:11 AM, Jason White via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

Yes. Vagrant combined with Packer; I've never gotten either to work, or not yet, though I plan to experiment. Works on all platforms and will create for more than just Virtualbox; will also do Hyper-V machines if you need them. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of John G Heim Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 10:25 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] setting up a VM I use virtualbox all the time but on linux.
