Latest release of Puppy Dingo with QEMU

#1 Post by htamayo »

Hi, for teaching purpose I'm very interesting in Puppy+QEMU. I've been googled and i found a project related but it uses an older version as I saw in the tutorial, my questions are:

1. is there a currently prioject that uses Puppy Dingo with QEMU?
2. if the answer is no, to develop a project like this, is this the better place to get help?

Regards

With qemu you can have any OS installed as guest, so also the latest version of puppy.
You must make a virtual HDD and mount the puppy iso on the virtual CD rom.
Boot from the virtual CD and do the install on HDD as you wish.
I called script boot-cd and use it as boot-cd xxxxxx yyyyyy
Where xxxxxx is the full path to the puppy iso and yyyyyy is the full path where the previously created hdd image is. (I called it puppy)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
 echo "boot van CD $1 en gebruik HDD $2"
 qemu -m 256 -no-kqemu -cdrom $1.iso -hda $2.img -hdb swap.img -boot d -localtime
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
