KolibriOS

[vhanla]

The purpose of this tutorial is to connect KolibriOS to internet using a virtual machine which is emulated with QEMU (virtual machine emulator), so we’re going to need this programs/files:

Qemu Manager – download it from www.davereyn.co.uk
KolibriOS floppy disk image – www.kolibrios.org

The first thing we’re going to do is to setup KolibriOS virtual machine on Qemu Manager, so it’s assumed that you have installed it already.

Launch Qemu Manager and you will see the following window.



Click on the toolbar button to add a new machine. Then it will ask you to write the new virtual machine name:



Then click Next and in that window fill the Virtual Machine RAM textbox with a RAM needed, remember that KolibriOS support 8MB of RAM as a minimum, I’m using 128MB



Click Next and in this window check “This Virtual Machine Does Not Require A Virtual Drive�



In the next window don’t modify anything:



Click Next and in the following window click on “Save Virtual Machine� button



It will show you the following window:



Select the “Disk Configuration� tab and click on the shown button, which is for choosing our KolibriOS floppy image:



Then select the appropiate floppy image



It will warn you but just click YES to continue:



Next select “Boot from floppy disk�



And Save it – next click on to Launch the Emulated Virtual Machine – Next configure the boot options to whatever you want, just test it, because not all of the combinations work, so I’m using here a 640x480 standard mode



Hit enter, it will ask you to save settings (it is saved in the floppy image)
and now we’re running Kolibri



Part II: Setup Network for Internet Connection

Now that we’re on KolibriOS we’re going to setup for Internet:

– Click on Menu->Network->Configuration



Next Configure using the following info:

– Check “Packet Driver�

– Check “Fixed� and the IP details are:

Fixed: 10.0..2.15 (our machine IP)
Gateway: 10.0.2.2 (qemu’s gateway)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS IP: 10.0.2.3



Apply it and we’re connected, the only thing left is to test it on a Web Client

Click on MENU -> Network -> Clients -> Simply Browser



Finally click on the button that points the pink arrow, then put any URL you want to surf and hit enter

I put www.kolibrios.org



Now we see an Apache Installation website…



BTW: Now we need a better web browser, please, is there anyone working on one or improving the existing one?

If only someone could get their hands on Ville's version.

Yeah, great, I couldn't get it connected to internet before, now I can, thx vhanla, and I have an unsupported Network card but with this emulator which has its own emulated card "I suppose" that KolibriOS supports, now I have KolibriOS and internet.
But the browser is very poor, it would be great to have a better one, I've seen before from Madis731 his simply browser called Symphony

hope someone start or restart this project

Among the Russian developers the shadow development 2 browsers is carried on. They do not want to show these things before time.
