Getting started with TKL LAMP and the VBox additions
  1. Download the LAMP image from https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack
  2. After importing the machine make sure to add a optical device (DVD/CDROM) and add the directory you would like to share in the shared directories section of the machine.
  3. After running through the TKL setup open a root shell (using web admin, ssh, or the vbox virtual screen) and run the following
  • # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  • # apt-get install dkms build-essential module-assistant bzip2
  • # m-a prepare Will prepare the kernal for building modules
  1. After installing the packages mount the guest addition (create a mount point and mount it)
  • # mkdir /media/cdrom, Make sure to create the mountpoint first
  • # mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
  1. Run the installer for the guest addtions
  • # sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
  1. For good measure reboot the machine
  2. After rebooting the machine you should be able to see the shared directory at /media/sf_<name of share>
