I'll test it in VirtualBox on my laptop.
Thanks.

Running from VirtualBox 5.1.18, it crashes before it even gets to the installer.

Ya I also haven't used VirtualBox in forever. I just use KVM on my laptop.

That may have been me fat fingering the boot menu. It's booting to the installer now. Where are you having a problem with it hanging at, @scottalanmiller ?

Why use it when the alternatives are free and perform better? There's also HyperV…
I run Linux on the bare metal, desktop in a VM is less than ideal. Not seen Linux on Hyper-V get GPU passthrough, does that work?
I try to explain that clearly: standard Windows on bare-metal of course use the GPU directly. After the installation of HyperV, the GPU is passed to the Windows Dom0 by HyperV, in a sort of passthrough. It's documented that this reduce the gaming performance of the Dom0.

Of course graphical-intensive desktop in a VM is not optimal at all. VMware Workstation and Fusion are getting it right, but…

When things go well, it hangs unable to get DHCP. There is no static IP configuration option that I can find and it can't get to the web server to download itself so....

For just the Desktop stuff, VirtualBox usually does ok for me. Games and other stuff, not so much.

Ah well... I did the install from the Snapshot-20170320 iso image and didn't have any problems. You can do an install from only the DVD and then add the online repos after you get the system installed.

Do you have your network card set up as Bridged or NAT?

Try it with NAT and see. I usually use NAT on my laptop and then ZT if I need access to the VMs from outside of my laptop.

Attempting it with KVM.

-
And no luck on KVM, it just freezes. Never gets to the point that it does anything. Just makes the bar across the bottom.
-
Did you ever go back and try it VirtualBox with NAT mode for the network adapter?
-
VirtualBox 5.1.18 on Win 7, installed Tumbleweed, no problems at all.
Used both NET-x86_64-Snapshot20170320 and DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170320, bridge and NAT mode. -

It doesn't freeze. I just ran the net installer. It took around 1-2 minutes after the bars went the whole way to bring up another screen on my desktop with 2GB and 1 core.
I ran it on my server and gave it 8 GB and 2 cores and it sped it up a little. That installer just seems really slow.

I gave it several hours.
