Michael Shigorin	a18295f223	{lib,conf.d}/{ve,vm}.mk: shift the real targets ... lib/*.mk aren't going to be parsed for build targets in the near future; and the early placement of those targets was superseded by a dedicated configuration snippet directory so just move these bits there.	2013-06-19 16:52:02 +04:00
Michael Shigorin	e52e21781f	actually useful vm/icewm ... See http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/86239.html#1 for a query that has led to this one; in particular, - xdm dropped (won't log in root and there are no users yet); - network is brought up and configured via DHCP by default; - apt-get works out-of-box; - default image size is twice the chroot size.	2012-09-03 19:16:50 +03:00
Michael Shigorin	90be07fbf8	initial conf.d/vm.mk ... After we have built a bare virtual machine image successfully some variations are due, and these are to be described here.	2012-06-25 19:29:38 +03:00
Michael Shigorin	75f7c62bd1	initial build-vm feature ... Yes, mkimage-profiles is now able to build VM disk images. So far the support is pretty basic: - a single hard drive image with a single partition/FS - only stock root password is configurable - LILO is hardwired as a bootloader The resulting images tend to boot under qemu/kvm though. Please see doc/vm.txt for the warning regarding additional privileges and setup required. This was started back in February but I still hoped to avoid sudo/privileged helper (and libguestfs is almost as undistributable as can be)... Thanks: - http://blog.quinthar.com/2008/07/building-1gb-bootable-qemu-image-using.html - Alexey Morarash who reworked that as https://github.com/tuxofil/linsygen - led@, legion@, vitty@, aen@ for providing advice and inspiration	2012-06-18 21:56:46 +03:00
