-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1,SHA256 Debian Squeeze and Wheezy kfreebsd-i386 images for QEMU or KVM ============================================================== This directory contains Debian Squeeze and Wheezy amd64 images for QEMU or KVM: a160f91e0e897cd4e667b7a80ea51feb debian_squeeze_kfreebsd-i386_standard.qcow2 f231fb05b8d817cb0818ec77a655d09d debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-i386_desktop.qcow2 3bdb23b27e71acb9859993c1062d9ba6 debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-i386_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-i386_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-i386_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-x86_64 -hda debian_wheezy_kfreebsd-i386_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) iD8DBQFSyvX1w3ao2vG823MRAnpRAJ96pTgJ5w0gX6cC4Ss/WOf52hWYFQCgj8mO BF3xifO3cC7YD8hEU/BOQkeJAhUDBQFSyvX1upx4Bh3djJsBCBDAD/43V01eefP5 VZT5/VNTS/L/dpsLOIIiSN/pe91sjY3qUWBX1sfbccvICizNRhYzAKA3/Nq6t2Ad yr2Cf3mYTOzuL0PSWSAs3RoIwY8n4K1MvHxvvsAgqVe7dRb92UMlz9A8d19LX6cx Pu2G9Ul0tfZXzsQi6Fln6s3tr4kpmUxJZkSWiqymrwkOE6prLUHgc7foLtM0Hubg Bh6UsGS4T3bcP95Q2ZM6A0thJ/0iZe5ZmklKiSxnGGZHu6sBwzlrDV5xvUCMnbqb Kn0Jwv+9KUdjPVxWwwszfNX26Xi3UcWd3d4S9XSYq3jmUIUatkoAfVInc8PnMfX0 iF/fGBneNcWYtzcu7tb3/KL1PEVLG+PHVcWlHrc+SyzvH5BzZz7jtv4I+p0vfOgV qudgdk/qVYMf2E4wx1DR+XeRiheUJUciqvZP41RbbImiEMh1pXBoDsY9TKvZR1kJ pa7ASnITApexw4Y1grhb0zy8v1HWZnIzADq6Fwq205qIRAhp2XP/G4VIhiIiok2Y At9RK2mbUYGQMWZgX6sD4p4t72KrSHMtUIAUQR6mWO9kOMsl+GvQUeOs8oTvONM1 YmMDyee3FvSzx7unhAbvmbEnWAzagsIH1/VKRaU2np2Mh16nzAUCxqh5zw33yEGi hHI/SN7BDyyvq5xexPvU6o2ESY4e+1giug== =FAmX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
