Hi folks, CPU - AMD Athlon64 X2 3800 RAM - 2G 6400 dual channel HD - 160G Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (LAMP) virtualbox I'm building a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu as host OS. I shall run Slackware-i386 and OpenBSD4.1-amd64 as guess OS Following Guide Partition finally it came to; Code: LVM VG Ubuntu LV root - 153.5 Linux device-mapper #1 153.5 GB f ext3 / LVM VG Ubuntu LV swap_1 6.3G Linux device-mapper #1 6.3GB f swap swap SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) - 160.0GB ATA maxtor 6V160E0 #1 Primary 255.0 MB B F ext3 /boot #5 Logical 159.8 GB k lvm Please help me to understand:- 1) What is #1? Is it partition-1? 2) What is #5? Is it partition-5? Then where are partition-2/3/4? 3) Why it needs 6.3GB as swap. RAM size is only 2G. In order to reserve space on the HD for the guest OSs, I deleted; Code: #1 153.5 GB f ext3 / and recreated it Code: #1 40GB f ext3 / leaving 113.5GB space unusable. Can I use this space for installing the guest OS, Slackware-i386 and OpenBSD4.1-amd64? Now Ubuntu 7.04 server (LAMP) is running but without X and DNS installed. I'm prepared to install virtualbox as virtualizer but can't find it with; $ sudo apt-cache show/showpkg vituralbox Nor vmware-server. I found qemu and bochs. Which repo I have to enable? # fdisk -l Code: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/sda2 32 19457 156039345 5 Extended /dev/sda5 32 19457 156039313+ 8e Linux LVM Please advise. TIA B.R. satimis
