Building a RedHat root image

- -

-The image required to use User-Mode-Linux is just a normal set of executables. -These can be extracted from a RedHat distribution using the following proceedure. -

- -

-There is a script in testing/utils called uml-rhroot.sh. It takes -two arguments: -

a directory in which to put resulting directory tree. -
a directory tree containing the RedHat distribution RPMs. This may be - in one of three forms: -
- a directory containing the directories "disc1" and "disc2". These - could be ISO images that are mounted loopback via, for instance: -
```
-
-mkdir -p /distros/redhat/7.2/disc1 /distros/redhat/7.2/disc1
-mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /distros/redhat/7.2/enigma-i386-disc1.iso /distros/redhat/7.2/disc1
-mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /distros/redhat/7.2/enigma-i386-disc2.iso /distros/redhat/7.2/disc2 
-
-
```
  -or even two real CDroms mounted somewhere. In the example above, use "/distros/redhat/7.2" as the distribution directory. -
- a directory containing a "merged" disc1 and disc2 as suggested by RedHat in http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/install-guide/s1-install-network.html under "Setting up the Server". -
- a directory containing all the required RPMs. (See list of RPMs)
-

- -

The unpacked distribution will take approximately 133Mb. You will - want to locate this on the same partition as your intended root - trees for your User-Mode-Linux's as this will permit hard links to - be used, saving disk space. -

- -

- Because the RPM command used uses the chroot(2) system call and - needs to change ownership of the files that it creates, it must be - run as root. Afterward, you should chown the entire directory to the - userid that you will be using for testing (i.e. probably - yours). It should eventually suffices to make sure that you can read - every file. -

- -

-You should be able to chroot to this directory and run programs. If -you can not at least run ls, then there is a problem. -

-Expect a couple of errors about install-info. -

- -
