F20-Beta-TC... and VirtualBox-4.3

[Joachim Backes]

Hi testers,

did anybody try to install F20-Beta-TC... in a VirtualBox-4.3 (from
virtualbox.org) VM?

My experience: The netinst iso is booted, but no progress (I don't see
any anaconda action, the screen remains black).

Going backup to VirtualBox-4.2 will install fine the test f20 beta
testcandidates.

Kind regards

Joachim Backes

I would try it but going to their site to download gets me "This webpage is not available" at the moment.

Was able to access their download now.

Using netinst iso and currently installing TC4 after selecting KDE as my desktop.  No problems so far....

Using VirtualBox-4.3, I've had no problems with testing any of the 20 Beta
TC5 32- or 64-bit install images (DVD or netinst), or with running my
existing F20 or Rawhide VMs.

Solved, my mistake: I tried to install the 64bit F20 into a
i686-VirtualBox VM. F20-Beta-TC... now installs properly into a 64Bit
VirtualBox-4.3 VM :-)

Running under 64 bit TC5 VirtualBox 4.3 was unable to install
SCO OpenServer 5.04.    I installed 4.2.18 and was able to
install the SCO file.
