I had a similar situation. I use one Windows app, that runs in WINE. |
| 9 |
WINE will not build without multi-lib support on a 64-bit install. I |
| 10 |
ended up installing QEMU-KVM, and then a 32-bit Gentoo guest inside |
| 11 |
that. Having done it once, the second time would be a lot easier. I |
| 12 |
went with 10 gig "main" disk image, and a 2 gig swap disk image. A |
| 13 |
quick rundown... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Remember to build qemu-kvm with the sdl USE flag if you want video. |
| 16 |
Otherwise, it becomes a VNC-only server. You could tunnel X over that |
| 17 |
if you want. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also make sure that the host's kernel has tun/tap support built in. |
| 20 |
Install dhcpcd in the guest, and let it take care of the IP address. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Create disks |
| 23 |
============ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
qemu-img create -f raw g32_00_sda.img 10G |
| 26 |
qemu-img create -f raw g32_00_sdb.img 2G |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Boot the install CD image |
| 29 |
========================= |
| 30 |
By default, they come up as /dev/hdx for the install, and /dev/sdx |
| 31 |
when booting from the latest kernel. "You can't get from here to |
| 32 |
there". You cannot configure /etc/lilo.conf to boot from /dev/sda1 and |
| 33 |
write it to the boot sector of what is currently /dev/hda1. Note the |
| 34 |
weird parameters necessary to force the disk images to come up as |
| 35 |
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb for the install. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The following is 1 long line |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
kvm -redir tcp:5555::22 -m 2048 -drive file=g32_00_sda.img,if=scsi,bus=0,unit=6 -drive file=g32_00_sdb.img,if=scsi,bus=1,unit=6 -cdrom gentoo32.iso -boot d |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Start the guest after install |
| 42 |
============================= |
| 43 |
Do not be confused by the -hda and -hdb syntax, it actually comes up as |
| 44 |
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
kvm -localtime -startdate now -vga std -redir tcp:5555::22 -m 2048 -hda g32_00_sda.img -hdb g32_00_sdb.img -boot c |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I selected "-vga std" for the video emulation. I suggest the |
| 50 |
following 2 stps to generate maximum video resolution... |
| 51 |
1) As root, run "X -configure" to generate an initial xorg.conf |
| 52 |
2) Copy the horizontal and vertical sync settings from the host's |
| 53 |
xorg.conf to the guest's xorg.cong |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
The "-redir tcp:5555::22" means that from the host, you can |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
ssh -p 5555 user@localhost |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
to ssh into the guest. Similarly... |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
scp -P 5555 fubar.txt user@localhost:. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
will copy a file to account user on the guest. With dhcp, the guest |
| 64 |
can ssh/scp to the host, using its actual address (in my case |
| 65 |
192.168.123.249), or the name if you set up /etc/hosts. |
