There are several ways depending on just what sort of system the OP actually wants. A live usb stick image? A xen or other full virtualization guest image? A lxc or other container guest?
I am trying to use qemu for embedded systems development, so I was looking for a full virtualization guest image. I have found debootstrap, but the filesystem is too large for my needs. Another option would be busybox, but I still don't know how to manually create the filesystem structure and the required files needed to boot a linux image.
Well one crude way is just let the normal installer do it the same as it would for a hard drive. Just create an empty file and run the install dvd in qemu. wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso/openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.is... dd if=/dev/zero of=minifs.img bs=1M count=1024 qemu -m 512 -boot d -hda minifs.img -cdrom openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.iso If the minimal text-only install option still requires more than 1G, then increase count=1024 to 2048 or 4096 or whatever is required. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
