A simple non technical guide to installing an LMDE guest on a Windows 7 host computer.
These videos are aimed at children, young people, new Linux users or folk like me that do not understand manuals.
They have no sound, you just need to watch, we haven't got talkies in the UK yet
Due to problems I was having with Virtualbox version 4 I have remade the videos using Virtualbox 3.2
When you encounter this screen when updating:
Up/Down keys moves you up and down
Space key selects
Tab key moves you to OK

When I am satisfied with the quality of these videos and can't improve them any more I will put them on youtube so if anyone has any suggestions, particularly problems when using them please, please tell me.
I do realize that the majority of folk using the videos are not registered forum members and therefor can't post but perhaps if you enjoy LMDE as much as we all do then it just might be worth registering and posting a comment, good or bad.

Re: Video: Installing LMDE in Virtualbox on Windows 7
Warning:
Half way through making these videos I have had nothing but trouble with the latest Oracle produced Virtualbox version 4 running on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine.
I have removed it and installed the older Virtualbox 3.2.12 which is finished software not beta/alpha grade crap, as a result I have lost my snapshots etc and have to start again. thank you Oracle but the latest version is always the best?
If this is an example of finished/released software from Oracle I think it's time to look at VmWare.
