hi. Trying to understand/figure out if it's possible to install fedora into a vmware/vmdk virtual machine, using the cmdline/script process. I can create the basic vmdk/vmx files using the something like: -set vdiskman="C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -set player="C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmplayer.exe" -md centos -%vdiskman% -c -s 20GB -a lsilogic -t 0 centos\centos.vmdk -echo >> centos\centos.vmx config.version = "8" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx virtualHW.version = "7" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx scsi0.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx memsize = "1024" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx scsi0:0.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx scsi0:0.fileName = "CentOS.vmdk" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ide1:0.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx floppy0.fileName = "" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ethernet0.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ethernet0.connectionType = "nat" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ethernet0.addressType = "generated" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx usb.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx ehci.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx sound.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx serial0.present = "false" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx pciBridge0.present = "TRUE" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx vmci0.present = "false" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx displayName = "CentOS" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx guestOS = "centos" -echo >> centos\centos.vmx nvram = "CentOS.nvram" -%player% centos\centos.vmx But then, I'm not sure what the next steps should be. At this point, I think I have a virtual disk, so I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow do an install into the VM/disk using yum. Someone had mentioned that all I need to do is: step 3 : launch the VM from the install-media step 4 : interact with the VM and install it as needed But the person neglected to state what the steps/process should be. My goal is to be able to have a completely automated/scripted process that doesn't require manual intervention. My ultimate goal is to be able to have a VM of Fedora, that can then be run using the vmplayer. Any pointers/comments are welcome. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
