Description
buildslave-fedora-11-32bit is a 32bit VM running Fedora 11 for the BuildBot network.
It is also used by Sebastian Dziallas and mtd to build Sugar on a Stick.
Installation
Base system
sudo virt-install --ram=512 --name=buildslave-fedora-11-32bit --arch=i386 \ --vcpus=1 --hvm --accelerate --disk pool=qcow-images,size=10 \ --network=network:default --vnc \ --location=http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os
This will create a new VM and run the Fedora installer inside it, with the "console" attached via virt-view. If you don't have a US keyboard virt-view won't work properly for you and you have to use VNC directly:
- close virt-view
- Determine the VNC port used for this VM (VNC port = 5900 + number shown by virsh, e.g. 5905 for :5):
sudo virsh vncdisplay buildslave-debian-squeeze-32bit - Set up ssh port forwarding for the VNC port:
ssh -L 5930:localhost:<vnc port> -N <user>@bender.sugarlabs.org - Start VNC client:
vncviewer :30
Config options:
- english, US keyboard
- buildslave-fedora-10-32bit.sugarlabs.org
- Etc/UTC
- manual layout, swap 512M, / ext3 max size
- no tasks
- F11 and F11 updates repo, customize now
- only Base system / {Base,Fonts,X11}
Start again after installation:
sudo virsh start buildslave-fedora-10-32bit
Reconnect VNC client:
vncviewer :30
