Hi toriosadores,

*Files to install ToriOS-Trusty to test what Israel develops*

Now I have uploaded two tarballs, a compressed image file and a 
compressed virtual disk image. You find them and their md5sums at

http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/torios/01_Test_Tarballs/

dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.img.xz     # install with mkusb
ToriTrustyTest01_by-OBI-in-Trusty.tar.xz  # tarball for 'my' OBI
ToriTrustyTest01_by-ToriOS-debian.tar.xz  # tarball for ToriOS 1.0
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz     # disk for VirtualBox

Three of the files can be used as they are by mkusb and the two OBI 
versions. The vdi.xz file must be expanded before it is used with 
VirtualBox,

xzcat dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz > 
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

Connect the vdi file to a virtual machine and boot ToriOS. You should be 
able to update & upgrade it with Israel's new versions in order to test 
them.

I had very low resolution in VirtualBox, only 640x480, until I set

GRUB_TERMINAL=console

and ran

sudo update-grub. See the attached screenshot. After reboot the 
resolution increased to 1024x768. (I did not install any guest additions.)

Happy testing :-)
Nio
