Atavic/Installing Linux-Lite (or Linux-Mint) from the start on Oracle-VirtualBox.txt

## Installing Linux-Lite (or Linux-Mint) from the start on Oracle-VirtualBox.txt
      download linux lite 'linux-lite-4.2-64bit.iso'
      http://mirror.alpix.eu/linuxliteos/isos/4.2/linux-lite-4.2-64bit.iso

      create a new machine, based on 'linux 2.6' without creating an hard-drive.
      enter settings/storage, remove everything click [OK], enter settings/storage again add IDE-controller click [OK], enter settings/storage again add cdrom (empty) and new hard-disk (60GB) click [OK].

      settings/general:               set 'shared-clipboard' and 'dragndrop' to 'bidirectional'.
      settings/system/processor tab:  check ON: 'Enable PAE/NX', select two CPUs.
      settings/display/screentab:     set RAM to 64MB. set 'Graphics Controller' to: 'VBoxVGA'. check ON: 'Enable 3D Acceleration'.
      settings/shared-folders:        add 'C:', 'D:', 'E:',... and select auto-mount for-each.
      create a VirtualBox-snapshot ("empty") before installation.
      start the virtual-machine and on the (GRUB) menu select 'Install Linux-Lite right now'.

      the setup will automatically start.
      to avoid bugs:
          - use the English for the installation dialog.
          - use default (English) keyboard layout (do not add Hebrew support due to a bug).
          - uncheck (set OFF) the 'Download updates while installing linux'.
          - check (set ON) the 'Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats'.
          - use default 'Erase disk and install linux'.
          - uncheck (set OFF) 'Encrypt the new linux installation for security'.
          - uncheck (set OFF) 'Use LVM with the new Linux installation'.
          - use 'New-York (USA)' timezone (start to type and choose from the suggested results).
      Name and Username:  me
      Machine-name:       vm
      password:           1
      check ON 'Log-in automatically'.

----------------------------------
      Do Not Install Updates (Yet...)
      we are going to change mirrors and servers to allow parallel-download and faster-operations.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
      in-case of bugs:
          - finish install and create a VirtualBox-snapshot ("clean install en keyboard NY tz").
