Install VMPlayer
-
Go to
LCDR Kenny's software page
and download the file linked as
Computer Science (IC210) LiveCD
(which will download as IC210-LiveCD.iso).
-
Follow the directions there to download VMPlayer (see
Note 1) and and to set up VMPlayer on your Windows Laptop (see Note 2).
These directions will create a Virtual Machine (VM) image on
your computer from the .iso file.
This VM image will live on your Windows laptop, and you
will be able to run it whenever you need a Unix machine to
work on.
- Important:
A few tips for using your VM:
- ctrl-alt-esc gets you back your cursor if its "stuck" in the VM
- ctrl-alt-enter toggles back and forth between
fullscreen mode
Note: For this assignment only, there is nothing to turn
in. However, you will need to bring your laptop to class
Wednesday to demonstrate that the VM is working (and learn a few
things about it too).
