Re: [Dng] The value of good docs: was pre-alpha-valentine on qemu

Was probably based on deprecated printed-doc time philosophy ;-)     Didier Le 17/02/2015 17:57, Gravis a écrit : > A document that makes installation and use trivial, and makes it > simple, is worth its weight in gold. the instructions dont actually weigh anything so saying it's worth it's weight in gold is saying they aren't worth anything. ;) --Gravis On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 11:36 AM, Steve Litt <sl...@troubleshooters.com> wrote: On Sun, 15 Feb 2015 02:52:12 +0000 KatolaZ <kato...@freaknet.org> wrote: > Hi guys, > > a few simple steps to have Devuan-pre-alpha-valentine installed and > running on qemu: > > 0)# wget > "http://mirror.debianfork.org/devuan-jessie-i386-xfce-prealpha-valentine.iso" > > 1)$ apt-get install qemu-kvm > > 2)$ qemu-img create devuan_disk 5G >     (creates a 5G qemu disk image for devuan) > > 3)$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom > devuan-jessie-i386-xfce-prealpha-valentine.iso -hda devuan_disk -boot > d -net nic -net user -m 256 -localtime & (installs Devuan on the qemu > disk image) > > 4)$ qemu-system-x86_64  -hda devuan_disk -boot c -net nic -net user > -m 256 -localtime & (boots the system) > > Just two words: IT WORKS :) No way did I have time to install the pre-alpha Valentine, and that fact distressed me because I was one of those asking for a quick release as a confidence builder. But I just didn't have the time. Then KatolaZ exactly documented the four steps to installation, and I said "I can do that in my sleep, while doing other work!" So I did it, and it worked (although slowly because -enable-kvm wasn't in the commands). KatolaZ' four step document. A document that makes installation and use trivial, and makes it simple, is worth its weight in gold. Thanks KatolaZ.
