Sanket, The install process on the ISO does not work (on the released versions). I've fixed this so when we release 0.7.4, it will work. (This is noted on the 0.7.3 release page).
Since you have it installed on Virtualbox, you need to complete a few more steps. You'll need to create an additional disk which can be used for the writable storage (unionfs). Just create a second hard drive and attach that to your AstLinux virtual machine. After you've booted, create a partition on the new disk and reboot. After the system is back up, use the genunion command to create a the file system and copy the appropriate files. Darrick On 10/14/2010 01:27 PM, Me wrote: > Hello, > > I am very new to Astlinux.
