Haiku

Create a video how to run Haiku in VirtualBox

Create a video showing how to install and run a Haiku nightly anyboot image in VirtualBox, see the guides at https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/virtualizing

  • Set your host's resolution to 1280x720 and record in full-screen.
  • Pick a suitable resolution for Haiku, no resizing allowed as that would blur the image.
  • All material seen or heard have to be under a suitable creative commons license.
  • Keep it short, best under 3 minutes.
  • Don't show the download and installation of VirtualBox.
  • Don't show the download of a nightly build, as this tutorial video will also be used after Beta1 is released.
  • Start recording with VirtualBox in full-screen mode.
  • If you have enough memory, assign 2 GB to the VM. HDD size should be 4 GB.
  • Complete the additional steps and troubleshooting before you start the virtual machine: set the correct network adapter, extend the amount of video memory (32 MB), set mouse to USB tablet.
  • When booting the VM for the first time, click on "Run Installer" and follow the installation guide.
  • Rename the virtual hard disk to "HaikuHD".
  • Wait for Haiku to restart and boot to Desktop, then end the video. Don't open any applications.

Before recording the video, send in your script as a txt or pdf file. The script should document the process for creating the video, how and what will be shown in the video. After the script has been verified, record the video and upload it here, on Google Drive or Youtube.
