How to Install ReactOS

[holliday22]

Hi,

I have VirtualBox installed and now I'm trying to install ReactOS.

Over at their site, they had some kind of downloadable folder that was supposed to be a pre-installed something. I downloaded it. Its just a regular folder, not a dmg.

I already went through the VirtualBox wizard so now when I click start it just fails. I try to hit F12 on my mac keyboard, but it just changes the volume of my music.

I created a dmg and put the contents of the folder in that, but then I didn't know what to do with it.

Thanks!

This can be done, at least with 0.3.11. It has been five months at least since I did it, so I don't remember the details. But what I think I remember is just creating a Windows XP virtual machine and then running the generic install CD. At any rate, the only version of ReactOS in my Kits folder is ReactOS-0.3.11-REL-iso.zip.

Yes, they do do a VirtualBox-specific distro, and I found one in my Downloads folder, but I don't think I used it.
