Use a live guest OS

As of now, netboot.xyz is one of the main way to deploy or use a guest operating system inside Phyllome OS. It is compatible with most (but not all) guest operating systems. This small guide will show you how to deploy a live system inside Phyllome OS.

Preparation

By default, netboot.xyz.iso should already be located under var/lib/libvirt/iso. If it's not the case, please use the following command to fetch it, or navigate to the website:

wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso -P /var/lib/libvirt/iso/

Run the script

The following script, which also doesn't require root privileges, will create a virtual machine called my-first-live-vm. This virtual machine will be started automatically and added to virt-manager.

/usr/sbin/create-live-vm.sh

Notice the new icon under QEMU/KVM: this is the new virtual machine that has just been created. Go to the section to learn how to interact with it.

Phyllome OS ships with a small ISO crafted by the team behind netboot.xyz, and that can do network boot, allowing it to do network-based installations of the most popular Linux distributions, among other niceties. {.is-info}

  • Go to Live CDs

There is no disk attached to this virtual machine. As a result, only Live CDs will work out-the-box. {.is-info}
