Install VirtualBox on Slackware 14 32 bit
Get VirtualBox 4.2.8 for Linux, i386, all distributions http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.8/VirtualBox-4.2.8-83876-Linux_x86.run.
For 4.2.18 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.18/VirtualBox-4.2.18-88781-Linux_x86.run
As root run the following commands:
As a normal user run the following:
Get and run a base box - Ubuntu Lucid32
In http://www.vagrantbox.es/ there is a list of available vagrant boxes.
As normal user run the following
   1 mkdir -p /tmp/vgbox
   2 cd /tmp/vgbox
   3 wget http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box #Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (big file with the whole VM)
   4 vagrant box add UbuntuLucid32 lucid32.box # associate the VM file with an alias
   5 vagrant init UbuntuLucid32 
   6 vagrant up
   7 vagrant ssh #access the VM through SSH
   8 ping www.sapo.pt #inside VM ... does not reply
   9 exit
  10 vagrant suspend
Run the following as stated in http://serverfault.com/questions/453185/vagrant-virtualbox-dns-10-0-2-3-not-working:
Running cat /etc/debian_version show its based on squeeze/sid.
Running cat /etc/issue.net show it's Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/.
Current user and pass for the lucid32 box is vagrant vagrant. To get superuser access run sudo bash.
Inspecting the file /etc/shadow we can see that only the user vagrant has a password defined.
In /etc/sudoers it is said that all users belonging to group can gain root privileges with supplying a password.
In /etc/group it is stated that vagrant belongs to the admin group.
Ubuntu Precise32
In http://www.vagrantbox.es/ there is a list of available vagrant boxes.
As normal user run the following
   1 mkdir -p ~/Downloads/vagrantBoxes/
   2 cd ~/Downloads/vagrantBoxes/
   3 wget http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box #Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
   4 mkdir -p /tmp/precise32
   5 cd /tmp/precise32
   6 vagrant box add UbuntuPrecise32 ~/Downloads/vagrantBoxes/precise32.box
   7 vagrant init UbuntuPrecise32

Slackware NAT router with Pen 3G
Configure Slackware PC to share a 3G internet connection (TMN portuguese ISP).
Internet connection
The used APN is internet.
There is no PIN defined in the used SIM card.
Edit /etc/ppp/peers/tmnpub
- /dev/ttyUSB0
- 460800
- connect 'chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat/tmnpub'
- defaultroute
- usepeerdns
Edit /etc/ppp/chat/tmnpub
- ABORT 'BUSY'
- ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
- ABORT 'ERROR'
- ABORT 'SIM PIN'
- ABORT 'SIM PUK'
- '' AT 
- OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
- OK AT+CPIN?
- READY ATDT*99#
- CONNECT
To connect to the internet we must use the command:
- pppd call tmnpub
Using the command ifconfig we should see the device ppp0 in the output.
Issuing a command ping www.google.com we should get a reply with the IP address from Google.
Configure NAT (Network Address Translation) router
Translate internal network addresses (source address) to a public/usable IP address given to the 3G modem.
View the routing table:
- route -n
It should appear the devices ppp0 and eth0, and based on the Destination and Netmask the destination interface.
Enable IP forwarding:
- echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 
Configure iptables to translate the address after they are forwarded to the correct interface, from eth0 to ppp0:
To view the iptables configuration run the commands:
#script #Enable IP forwarding: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #Configure iptables to translate the address after they are forwarded to the correct interface, from eth0 to ppp0: iptables -F iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Configure client computer
The routing table must be configure to use the NAT on Slackware, that will act as a router.
Check the current default gateway:
   1 route -n
The line with destination equal to 0.0.0.0 and gateway 0.0.0.0, is the default router/gateway and must be deleted. We must run a command to do that, adapted to the current situation:
   1 route del -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1
The previous command is to delete a route with destination 0.0.0.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1.
If the NAT router have the IP 192.168.1.123 then the following command must be sent:
After that running route -n should return a line with:
- Gateway: 192.168.1.123
- Netmask: 0.0.0.0
- Destination: 0.0.0.0
- Iface: eth0
Running a ping www.google.com from the client computer should return the IP address from Google.
Running a traceroute www.google.com should show the IP address from the NAT router.

Generic kernel
The “generic” kernel on the other hand, is a kernel which has virtually no drivers built in. All drivers will be loaded into RAM on demand.

   7 # have support for your storage or root filesystem built in
   8 # (such as the Slackware 'generic' kernels').
