-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1,SHA256 Debian Squeeze and Wheezy kfreebsd-amd64 images for QEMU or KVM =============================================================== This directory contains Debian Squeeze and Wheezy amd64 images for QEMU or KVM: f8d0049294f168df03d0301d8b8a6a74 debian_squeeze_kfreebsd-amd64_standard.qcow2 96eeaccd16bb91c0581b2aa9d9717a25 debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-amd64_desktop.qcow2 9e0c352b41dcd367dcf02dd6c2616385 debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-amd64_standard.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-amd64 - 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-x86_64 -hda debian_squeeze_kfreebsd-amd64_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-amd64_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-amd64_desktop.qcow2 When run on an amd64 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFSyvX1w3ao2vG823MRAsMLAJ4ryMLWnhFUNbXbpvVcrodSXa+BHgCbBCP/ +nSVn7ycvi+N+HAEyLlmpcSJAhUDBQFSyvX1upx4Bh3djJsBCDjoEAC6tjQVSKVx 999aUWLv6fs5c9lLv06zK6jCXtGQ3d4DQ+sLlLLiNdRdCrw6ukcvkarXfl8OoljV BrfJZYIulYG5OxvU7hVg8+m2ieS8h3NmSK+ZYzuxrjUlwEiasa7Z/39cI9F1ftKw 3TLW7msMlY+XQv75xdkIVOFOgQsM1xMcPyBI5PBeqsmX06bL+8IpEgFQ+4bVcM5p ZIvjdB1Rk5N2+T2DXzDh/jw/moKhgzx34BaReDNFmh8ygX+e6ACSyK3FC6FxZgAi Lv7V1iLgHCsJ54JrwrizyUvJ7+raEnKgmbhkQVGY145YsKjhS/ewghvnIhnXg+k8 8gl7lxVB6V/RKv3KVssSvrCGhgQF8d5Jp1vPkj14d/4xnKZog8KN/6XYEyU0GGdG Rr9t1xMjNtub8tR9HsORB3FbJQwwR8Qh9USyY0A1WNjRLL9aOYe9lPFsMAtw+kc6 AD2HNmdPK0bLWv8kk+rSGePgdLRHd327m+QdUfp01XDnP2IKCA4rdTqzja99abrG FHSyzgT+2RBE6oYCj8osk58RsavBU+qy17o15JkUKa2SCWSI7Z+/frGWUzR7hdO1 O7hgiolmOUaGPA+ql6xVHyJ5n+BsGgc8K1fF3E5WXfD0IM7KryMyhg2YG8CyUze1 f11YPZ3yzbChBGhOnylOzyMVv1B+roB90w== =jAI+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
