Creating A Guest
Create a disk image
- Use dd to create a sparse image file
- Use mkfs to format image file
- Create a Linux image file
- Very easy with YUM
- Create at least /dev/zero /dev/console and /dev/null
- Use YUM with the --installroot switch
- Other solutions exist
- debbootstrap, gentoo stage 3 install, etc...
Notes:
Things to do after creating disk image:
Change root password (from inside a chroot)
Disable NPTL if needed (move /lib/tls to /lib/tls.disabled in a chroot)
Create an appropriate /etc/fstab
