UbuntuRelease: JeOS 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

Introduction

This page is a work in progress which aims at documenting how to create virtual appliance using JeOS.

Initial setup

At this point in time, JeOS is meant to run under VMWare Server or WMWare ESX and may not work under other virtualization technologies yet. It is assumed in this tutorial that you have already installed a VMWare environment.

Download JeOS

The latest version of JeOS iso image can be downloaded from [http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/].

wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386.iso

It is always a good idea to verify the md5 sum of the downloaded file by comparing the content of [http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/7.10/release/MD5SUMS] with the result of

md5sum ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386.iso

If the values are not the same, you should try to reload the file again.

Initial installation of JeOS

Installation of JeOS is done the same way you would install any other installation in VMWare, and we will assume you know how to do this.

Things to consider:

• Please note that in order to reduce the size of JeOS to a minimum SCSI drivers have not been included in the JeOS kernel. Please make sure that you instruct VMWare to use IDE drive instead.

• If you plan on shipping a virtual appliance, do not assume that the end-user
