Re: Installing Jessie on VirtualBox



Oh, sorry for being late, i missed the original message.

Your request - to me - sounds like a contradiction:
IoT lets me assume, you want to have some network connection
wheras
Jessie would want you to avoid any network due to it being totally out
of time and thus has no chance to sync with anything
(updates/security/and so on)

If you absolutely need the latter, you would have to set such an
internal repository-server up for yourself, or at the very least stop
apt from doing its job.

The easier path would be to have a VM that never reaches the outside
world (which would happen, if you do not inhibit it), by using
VirtualBox to have an internal net instead of the NAT/bridged setup.
This way, you could even time-shift the VM in question and move it into
the past, but never reach the outside world with its clocks and software.

Your job to find out, what you really want/need and to act accordingly.
Maybe the assignment was outdated in the first place? Maybe the teacher
wants you to solve some of the problems, that arise automatically, if
you naively follow practices from years ago?

Just my 2 cents
