I test the Debian Edu installation using qemu. And to help do this
efficiently, I have written a script to run the commands in the
correct order. The script has grown over the years, and this is what
it currently do:
- Fetch the latest CD netinst image from ftp.skolelinux.org using
rsync.
- Create the hard disk images for the main-server and the
workstation.
- Start a qemu to install a main-server, using qemu user network to
get online. Terminate qemu when it is done installing and fail to
boot from hard drive.
- Wait for [enter] to be pressed in the terminal, and start (1) a
gateway using floppyfw, (2) the freshly installed main-server, (3)
a PXE booted workstation to be installed, (4) a PXE booted diskless
workstation and (5) a PXE-booted thin client. All of them
networked using qemu multicast.
About 35 GB of disk space is needed if both the virtual hard drives
are filled. If not, around 7 GB is needed.
Here is the script. Please give it a go and let me know if it help
you test the Lenny based Debian Edu. Perhaps it should go into our
svn?
