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. +

+ +

+An example: +
