Geobox em máquina virtual

1) Instalar o Virtual Box.

2) Criar máquina virtual no Virtual Box. Neste passo foi necessário configurar a nova máquina virtual para a distribuição Ubuntu do Linux, definir a quantidade de memória disponibilizada e criar um disco rígido virtual.

3) Depois de criada a máquina virtual foi montada a imagem .iso do cd de instalação do Geobox, que aparece como uma drive de dvd/cd virtual, sendo esta definida como o primeiro dispositivo de arranque.

4) A máquina virtual foi reiniciada, arrancando com o cd de instalação do GeoBox, iniciando-se assim a instalação do novo sistema operativo. A instalação foi feita com as definições por defeito, deixando que o software defini-se as partições e o sistema de ficheiros.
