-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1,SHA256 Debian Squeeze and Wheezy powerpc images for QEMU ================================================= This directory contains Debian Squeeze and Wheezy powerpc images for QEMU: e2a2ea3125d28e4038d0ec9b1b8476e9 debian_squeeze_powerpc_desktop.qcow2 b08f2adb632a919d52d7e701f5a4becd debian_squeeze_powerpc_standard.qcow2 de8c57b3619f6977d51449ca0c7dc6dc debian_wheezy_powerpc_desktop.qcow2 64b24d27e9b18de19e0161b03a1ec790 debian_wheezy_powerpc_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-powerpc - Root password: root - User account: user - User password: user To use these images, you need to install QEMU 1.1.0 (or later). Start QEMU with the image as argument: - qemu-system-ppc -hda debian_squeeze_powerpc_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-ppc -hda debian_squeeze_powerpc_desktop.qcow2 - qemu-system-ppc -hda debian_wheezy_powerpc_standard.qcow2 - qemu-system-ppc -hda debian_wheezy_powerpc_desktop.qcow2 By default QEMU emulates a machine with 128MiB of RAM. The -m option increases or decreases the size of the RAM. It is however limited to 2047MiB. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFSyvX2w3ao2vG823MRArKHAJ9wUcwinZ3Ih9qC+oa+Zecm7pO/dgCfQ05J M2HGT6ZBmhlfNNEndXmObXOJAhUDBQFSyvX2upx4Bh3djJsBCAd8D/0VqHlNN3mq 5ySUTQDoHnpBx7gStGyosjJiPTO+14TGa51p/y5osK2xElK1AcKfsB26hs4eVzm2 MwCBZtWiBSyT/ERaPyVZgnizQzQEJGv2W2fqV1BIyE03TKwQ/Q9Q/vdt6QRhHBtC 7qilUCNU5JemlQ7uutKOZiE1aeyiw9122MyQCXUdSf7K8UQ5LajTQ2ok4fAV7Kxe dUMmA55XfDGZKbI38G8LO4VfrEGAupIo+9x1L8KUS7HUtlfzzjL6sSkEs11MuOyt U2ECFbKM/G3TXLjuZ7Z1vqdWDPvGijmPWYxUvclHmbM8R88TrmM1YSQ+JuUNgQsy GIlyuq741ieD+q0/0JzrqvTHODI8Y4RNv1nwf1V7IyHVYyG+y78CXYmhYavMWJBs 4GfhMxIjfXvhoMOuaEkg2U8epbJleflfDpHi3/gkDrJVABtdkUjJt13zFMQWOBBf WC79T8svemWj2VKyGoJ7TRMQD6Hfjg+I0AUkZL3mhToLKrJeJcFp3lxlgRR89aQK rwqxMoWPvb2Gur3njkD+kC5oP03a1iu6jz5BRnhW4zipuJfre1knzAkXyQXohELG mJqg6pA2+BHYfn3jmhaohHSZnR1OVnDRZs/8j+93Lw6y+BOLfw/vHYKlMBWHLKrm NpzW0RjXve5AZXJM2DdwKGHXjmY8rnuC8Q== =rBw6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
