Welcome here!
Virtualbox was free software when Trisquel 6.0 was new and shiny but is not
available on Trisquel 7.0 for good reasons.
Dual booting is a much bigger hassle than using a virtual machine. You can
try Gnome Boxes or just the lazy man's command line route:
[quote]qemu-img create -f qcow2 trisquel.img 100g
In the directory where you made your image put your iso and:
sudo kvm -m 1024 -cdrom trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso -boot d trisquel.img
To start the image after install do:
sudo kvm -m 1024 trisquel.img
-m is the amount of memory you want to allocate. 512 is probably enough.
Do "-soundhw all" before the path to the image and that should cover it ;)
just type "sudo kvm -m 1024 -cdrom trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso -boot d" to boot a
live CD
for newer .iso, need argument -show-cursor: sudo kvm -m 1024 -cdrom
trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso -show-cursor -boot d trisquel.img[/quote]
which works for me.
You could install to your flash drive instead of using it like a live CD, but
it will be slow. A better solution you might not be aware of is how easy it
is to install Trisquel to an external USB hard drive (like a Western Digital
Passport) and boot to that from whichever computer is available, do your
work, Shut down, unplug the external drive and put it in your pocket, thank
your friend or family member, and give them back their windows machine in the
same condition it was when you borrowed it.
For that matter, if you're a laptop dude, you may just need a 2.5" hard
drive, a spare caddy (under $5 on eBay for my Thinkpads), and a screwdriver.
HTH
