Re: Running joyride on Fedora using KVM/QUEMU

Hi All,
I was looking at running the joyride builds within a VM on a Fedora 10
box and it appears because I don't have a AMD cpu I need to run a
custom build [1] of qemu to allow for CPU support, I'm not sure of the
state of the custom build and as I use the qemu/kvm for other VMs I
don't really want a non standard build. I'm assuming this is from
upstream, does anyone know what the plan is for F-11 and versions of
qemu and if there's any plans to pull in a later build, or even if
there's a new qemu version due? I had a quick search on the qemu devel
and there was discussion of a new official release back in October but
I've not seen anything concrete.

If you want to build a vm with sugar on it from fedora, go ahead and try
this:
* yum install appliance-tools python-virtinst
* Download the kickstart file copied from sdizillas in the kickstart
repo:
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=acex.git;a=blob;f=sugarxo/resources/sugar-f10.ks;
* appliance-creator --name sugarxo --config [PATH TO KSFILE]
* virt-imavge sugarxo.xml
* Then connect via virt-manager or virt-viewer
This will get you a running VM with sugar in it.
