[Lancaster] installs on virtual box

[Wayne Ward]

Mananged to get gentoo and arch and debian all in virtual boxes last  
night
i was talking to gareth on sykpe through the installs and tested out  
some screen sharing etc which was awsome
gareth managed to get the new ubuntu installed and shared his screen  
to give me a preview!!!

i think the gentoo install took around hour and a half and the arch  
was a hour - the debian install was around 20 minutes but that has no  
real hard work to do!!! all these installs were just to a basic  
command prompt so you build on top of that - the gentoo install i  
built everything required into the kernel so no modules!! and cut all  
the rubbish out of the kernel - and the install was very basic using  
minimal packages and no use flags - so this could be shown at a  
meeting no problem although im thinking to start this of we should  
start from easier installs first im thinking

Base system installs

debian install
arch install
gentoo install

Build on top of the base systems

debain
arch
gentoo

So one week so the debain and arch if people can handle this or start  
slowly with the debian??...

I was thinking for next months meeting although i have to say i cant  
make the first wednesday of the month and wanted to arrange the  
meeting for the next week if everybody is okay with this.

gareth how did you get on with the gento 10.0 install???

Wayne ward
