<PRE>2011/2/14 Michael Scherer <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">misc at zarb.org</A>>:
><i> Hi,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> while debugging the last issues for iso for alpha 1, Anne reminded us
</I>><i> that some people asked in the past for appliance ( ie, virtual machine )
</I>><i> to be distributed along the isos on mirrors.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> While we will likely not do for the next release ( due tomorrow ), I
</I>><i> would like to have some feedback about it ( as i seldom use such
</I>><i> features, I prefer to install my vm myself ).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> There is some question to answer :
</I>><i> - what technology would people like to see ? ( remember, this has to be
</I>><i> something that can be created using free softwares in the distribution )
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - what type of hardware should be emulated ( i586/x86_64, sound card,
</I>><i> etc ? )
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - what should be distributed along the disk image ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - what kind of installation ? Ie, a default user with a default
</I>><i> documented password, but for issue such as language, size of the disk,
</I>><i> partitionning, set of installation package, this is more tricky.
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Who would be interested by this feature ? Some has example of
</I>><i> company/group doing the same that he could comment ( I found several
</I>><i> people doing the same, but no time to look at details ) ?
</I>
One hardware feature which comes to mind is USB support (external
haddisks, printer, card readers, etc.)
Besides a ready made vm I'd appreciate a tool in the style of the
draktools to convert a custom installation into a vm to be installed
in virtual machines.
