Debian Squeeze and Wheezy i386 images for QEMU or KVM
=====================================================

This directory contains Debian Squeeze and Wheezy i386 images for QEMU or KVM:
  cfa7eacfb9737353fcd820aa49d4b6ba  debian_squeeze_i386_standard.qcow2
  e2eacd1ed8b4ebd7fb10e2345d86f17e  debian_squeeze_i386_desktop.qcow2
  f7be099bb964d1e04fcfeddb21e2a749  debian_wheezy_i386_standard.qcow2
  817a35a4943e23d0bfc8fd1317db3578  debian_wheezy_i386_desktop.qcow2

All images are 25GiB images in QCOW2 format on which a Debian Squeeze or Wheezy
system has been installed. The standard images correspond to a "Standard system"
installation, while the desktop images correspond to a "Standard system" +
"Desktop environment" with Gnome, KDE and Xfce environments. On Wheezy the
original default desktop environment is Gnome and the default display manager is
GDM. These can not work in QEMU, as Gnome needs an accelerated graphics card,
which is not provided by QEMU. Moreover both Gnome and GDM need more than the
default 128MiB memory provided on QEMU. They have therefore been replaced
respectively by Xfce and LightDM on the Wheezy desktop image. Both Gnome and GDM
are still installed on the image, and the original default can be restored using
the following commands:
  - update-alternatives --auto x-session-manager
  - echo /usr/sbin/gdm3 > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
The other installation options are the following:
  - Keyboard:       US
  - Locale:         en_US
  - Mirror:         ftp.debian.org
  - Hostname:       debian-i386
  - Root password:  root
  - User account:   user
  - User password:  user

To use these images, you need to install QEMU 1.1.0 (or later) or a recent KVM
version. Start QEMU or KVM with the image as argument:
  - qemu-system-i386 -hda debian_squeeze_i386_standard.qcow2
  - qemu-system-i386 -hda debian_squeeze_i386_desktop.qcow2
  - qemu-system-i386 -hda debian_wheezy_i386_standard.qcow2
  - qemu-system-i386 -hda debian_wheezy_i386_desktop.qcow2

When run on an amd64 or i386 host with hardware virtualization, and when the
KVM module is loaded and accessible to the user, it is possible to use
the -enable-kvm option to run the guest faster. By default QEMU emulates a
machine with 128MiB of RAM. The -m option increases or decreases the size of the
RAM. If you don't want to start QEMU in graphic mode, you can use the -curses
option.
