Virtualization Packages to Download for Fedora-12
 

I have a stand-alone machine that I installed Fedora 12 from a downloaded x86_64 DVD. I would like to run Fedora 12 as the core operating system, with Windows XP 64-bit virtualized when I need it. I researched how to install virtualization, but it appear as though I will need to have an internet connection to install, which is not possible.

1. Are the latest Virtualization Packages located on the Fedora 12 x86_64 DVD?

2. If not on the DVD, where can I get the latest Virtualization Packages to put on a CD or DVD to implementation on the stand-alone machine?

3. How do I implement the Virtualization Packages from either location (#1 or #2 above) so that I can run Windows XP 64-bit from inside Fedora 12?

Thank you.

Virtual Box is great
 

Download the fedora x64 rpm from www.virtualbox.org. Once downloaded you can go to a terminal as root and do the following:

1. rpm -ivh 'virtualboxrpm file name'
2. Make yourself a member of the group vboxusers.

Run Virtualbox and it is pretty easy to add a new virtual machine and load windows. If you need any other details, we can give them to you.

Virtualbox is very reliable and you can even run Windows in seamless mode.
