VirtualBox on Mandriva 2010

Due to playing game, I need to set up a virtual windows XP.
The virtualbox is a good choice.

1. urpmf --name virtualbox (root)
To find the package you want to install
suggestion: virtualbox, dkms-virtualbox, dkms, virtualbox-guest-additions
2. urpmi dkms; urpmi virtualbox, urpmi dkms-virtualbox, urpmi virtualbox-guest-additions

3. run virtualbox from menu: Toos-> Emulator -> VirtualBox OSE (normal user)

4. install win XP

5. This step is very important.
As win XP installing down, please press right-ctrl to out of virtualbox.
Press device, then choose install Guest Addition to make sure having VGA driver, DirectX

6. reboot XP

7. Down
