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.
Access your virtual machine display
- Double-click on my-first-live-vm to open its virtual display, then click on Connect to console.
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}
- After a few seconds, you will be greeted by the following screen.
- Under the menu, go to View and select Full Screen
- 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}
- Scroll down this list
- Stop at Tiny Core Linux and press Enter
- Select Tiny Core Linux x86_64
- Select Tiny Core Linux CorePure
- Enjoy your disposable virtual machine
- When you are done messing around, input the following, and you will be back in Phyllome OS
sudo poweroff
That's it, congratulations! {.is-success}
