This is just a journal to myself to list the things that I install on my Vanilla ArcaOS 5.0.x to do some experiments after it.

Create VM

  • Create the VM as OS/2 - EcomStation
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 40 GB HDD
  • Configure to share clipboard.
  • Audio: ICH AC97 / SB also works
  • Network: Intel Pro/1000MT Desktop

Install ArcaOS

Normal Install procedure.

  • Use GENGRADD as video driver.

  • Adjusts video resolution from the Virtual Machine host.
  • Change to "pentium 4"

Software

  • yum install qpdfview qpdfview-common lispectre poppler-qt qedit dooble

Config

  • 1980 Resolution on the VM
WPS Changes

  • Change the pointers to "Big Black".
  • PMDLL Icon and association with DLL and Executable.
  • Enable Status Bar
  • Enable Extended Shutdown

Config.sys

  • LIBPATH: c:\sys\install\warpin;
  • Path: c:\sys\install\warpin;

Already Included Software on ArcaOS 5.0.6

  • ISOFS Filesystem [6]

VXBOX Additions changes

I do this changes to have shared folder support on the WPS. (Not available with the regular VirtualBox version).

You need to copy:

  • Copy VBOXGUEST.IFS, VBoxMouse.sys and VBOXSERVICE.EXE (Rename the old replaced one) to C:\OS2ADDITIONS
  • Copy VBoxFSAttach.exe, VBoxFS.ifs to C:\OS2ADDITIONS

Change on the config.sys

REM IFS=C:\OS2Additions\vboxsf.ifs
IFS=C:\OS2Additions\vboxfs.ifs
run=c:\os2additions\VBoxService.exe

Remove VBOXService from the Startup Folder (no longer needed)

Run "VBOXFSATTACH z: OS2TEMP" to mount the z: drive.
