Build instructions: Manjaro host, VICE-emu 3.8 guest

Objective: Create an instance that can be freely redistributable using VirtualBox. VB was chosen specifically for the multi-platform nature of the build. I would like to create a docker, but I'm not there yet. Materials:

• Manjaro Install CD (manjaro-kde-22.0-minimal-221224-linux61.iso - latest avail at time of writing)
• QEMU/KVM to provide the Manjaro Host
• VICE 3.7.1 archive dl'd from Sourceforge
• Jim Brain's 1.15a version of tcpser dl'd from GitHub.com

Build instructions Installing the Manjaro host on the VirtualBox hypervisor

• Create the VirtualBox virtual machine using the generic linux 64-bit profile using the following specs:
  • Virtual hard drive: 60 GB
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • CPUs: At least 2, I find 4 is good. More than four CPUs doesn't present a notable difference on my server. YMMV. This will be a setting you may want to toy with after everything is running.
  • Attach the Manjaro ISO and start the virtual machine.
  • Once booted to the live CD, select "Start Installer" at the bottom of the dialogue box.
  • Select your language and select 'Next'.
  • Set your timezone of choice and select 'Next'.
  • Select your appropriate keymaps and select 'Next'.
  • Select 'Erase disk' and 'Swap to file' and select 'Next'.
  • Enter your user information. For example:
    • Name: VICE User
    • Username: viceemu
    • Computer Name: vice-virtualbox
    • Password: viceemu
    • Note - I like my virtual machines to auto login and use the same password as root. There are pros and many cons to this. Use your discretion.
  • Select 'Next'.
  • Verify the information is correct and select 'Install'.
  • Last chance to back out, select 'Install now'.
  • Time passes.
  • Do not check the box "Restart now" and click on "Done".
  • Eject the install CD and power off the computer.
  • Using the VirtualBox Management Interface, "Start" the VM.
  • The first boot will take some time.

First boot and updating the Manjaro operating system.
