Need Guidance For OS customization
Hello ,
My name is vikrant, I am a student of CS and i wish to customize a linux distro. I followed the steps given on the website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization but things are not working the way they should. :confused: following the procedure given on the website i end up having an iso file. But as soon as i try to use it in virtual box , it leads to error saying FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted :banghead: tried it 3 times but no success plz help |
What are you running exactly from the command line when you try to boot the image?
|
I believe u are asking about the image i ended up having after the whole procedure
i was trying to use the image in virtual box to test whether it works or not.... |

He's said twice that he's trying to use it in VirtualBox.

No idea. He hasn't mentioned that.

Boot the image off hard drive
|
Have you read the VirtualBox manual? Go through it again, there's a step during installation where you can indicate where your .iso is located.
|
well... yes i did from
Devices --> CD/DVD devices --> Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file |
Did you pressed F12 on VirtualBox before boot. It will show you list of mediums from which it should boot. Check with command "file yourimage.iso" if it has "bootable" flag.
|
tried F12 button but no help also i am not aware of the bootale flag
|
Files with a bootable flag? That is totally new to me and was never necessary when I used Virtualbox.
@#root: Open the settings menu of your VM, change to the "System" tab and make sure that the CD/DVD-ROM option in the boot order is checked. It may be necessary to also make sure that is in before the harddisk in the boot order in case that the harddisk contains already an OS. |
Sorry, for bootable flag I mean a "bootable" text appearing when checking file by "file" command.
