The VM image downloads as a password protected zip file. The password is given on the download page. The VM will be valid for 90 days only since this is meant for testing and not long-term use.
You will need quite a bit of space on your hard drive or on an external drive to save the VM image. Choose Ubuntu Launch the Ubuntu Bash Shell and elevate to root sudo su to avoid permissions issues during the installation process. Why SIFT? Related Content. October 12, Angelina Derajtys. I will investigate further. I have not been able to test the iso file that resulted yet. The iso file is about 6 times the size of the vdi file. That's why it's larger than your original VDI. And actually it's a RAW file which is a raw harddrive image.
If you follow the tutorial it is only halfway through the process. To complete it you need to mount the image you have created and copy out the files, then make an ISO of the files only that doesn't include the free space. Thanks Jeremy. I guess that just proves that when all else fails one should read the instructions. I appreciate your reply.
Although must admit that the tutorial does include the trailing slash so not sure if that's it. Do I have to prepare the image on a turn-key distrobution for this to work?
I am trying to prepare the image from an Ubuntu Basically have to mount the RAW image with and offset of to id the filesystem ext2 properly. This will actually mount an image properly, so just modify it as the Gotcha above for partitions. I'm just stuck now, I don't know how to properly add both partitions to the image nor will the script run on the rootfs gleaned from one of the partitions. It may even also work on Debian - but perhaps not A quick scan of the second link you provided suggests that that particular version is a mishmash of 2 old versions of Debian but I couldn't quite work out what the go was with the new version.
Have you posted on their forums? But TBH unless there is a compelling reason, personally I'd be looking about for an opensource product that does the same thing thgat does support hacking etc. I haven't tested any but Wikipedia has a list of starters.
No doubt there is probably more if you have a good google. My 2c anyway In fact, they would probably look down on what I am trying to do by creating a LiveCD. Mikrotik is absolutly the best of the best. Its a bit funky to get started with, I was actually planning on running pfSense before I read a single post from a random comment on the pfSense forums that said "Try Mikrotik, once you learn it, you will never go back. Just to get started, a web interface and windows interface for the firewall..
Why would you need the windows interface? Well, for starters, it allows you to connect to the firewall to reconfigure it regardless of your machines IP settings. The 24 hour time limit on the demo is a bummer but you can backup your config, reformat , and reinstall your config to continue using it or learning it. As well as their licensing is confusing and a bit expensive for SOHO usage..
I highly reccomend it if you do any networking at all, or if you just want something fun to play with. AFAIK unless the original distro supports running live then this will not work for you to create a live distro. I'm sure creating a live version of the router OS is possible, but not without some serious hacking.
I imagine you would need to do similar hacking first to allow this distro to run live. How you would actually go about that is well beyond me and may also be outside the terms of the Mikrotik licence. As you've possibly guessed from my previous posts I'm a strong advocate of the open source model. But I also try to be respectful of the relevant licencing. If you like Mikrotik RouterOS that much I suggest you consult with them on what your options are and what it will cost you to do what you want.
I'm guessing that this conversion process could take a really long time. Should it really take so long? But if it's a big image, yes it will take a while. A good baseline timeframe to consider is how long would it take to copy the file? Then add a bit depending on hardware.
You can see if it's still doing something via a new terminal window. I don't remember the commands off the top of my head but if you google "check progress qemu-img convert commandline linux" or something similar. I haven't actually done it with qemu-img but I am assuming it would be similar to checking progress of dd. Neither 'msdos', 'fat32' or 'ntfs' seem to be recognized.
Regardless of that though, because of the nature of how Windows works, I don't think you'll have any joy using this method anyway. I don't know enough about Win7 to give you any really good suggestions, but if you are looking to create a preconfigured image then the MS tool sysprep is probably your best bet and then create an image of your syspreped system.
If you hunt about online I'm sure you'll find tons of info detailing the best course of action. Yeah, I wasn't sure if this would work for Windows, but was having trouble getting anything else to work so thought I'd give it a shot. I'll give sysprep a try! Thanks again for your quick and helpful response! Another afterthought may be vLite. I have successfully been using a combination of sysprep and a FOG server to create and deploy Win7 images to multiple machines.
It may be overkill or simply not suitable for your purposes but it works really well for mine! Possibly worth a look?
