This page is intended to help the Linux users to use the Testtool. The info on this page is for Fedora Core 6, but it's useful for most Linux distros.

How to obtain OS

From the Red Hat site, seek some mirror and download Fedora Core 6 DVD image FC-6-i386-DVD.iso .

Setup modes

As the releases tests takes about 15 hours and use the mouse, keyboard or an OpenOffice.org instance can't be used, most people would prefer an alternative way to running the tests in the main box. The two common methods are:

• Install the OS inside a virtual machine
• To use another user in a separate windowing system display and don't use OpenOffice.org while running the tests at all.

Installation of OS inside the vmware player

* creation of HDD image
  From command prompt, at C:\Program Files\qemu-0.8.2-windows:
  > qemu-img create -f vmdk FC6.vmdk 10G
* creation of FC6.vmx 

config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "3"

displayName = "FedoraCore6" guestOS = "other26xlinux" memsize = "256" usb.present = "FALSE" floppy0.present = "FALSE" sound.present = "TRUE" sound.virtualdev = "es1371"

ethernet0.present = "TRUE" ethernet0.addressType = "generated" ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"

ide0:0.present = "TRUE" ide0:0.fileName = "FC6.vmdk" ide0:0.deviceType = "disk" ide0:0.startConnected = "TRUE" ide0:0.redo = ""

ide1:0.present = "TRUE" ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect" ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

ide1:1.present = "TRUE" ide1:1.fileName = "auto detect" ide1:1.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

• follow instruction of p.89 of Guest OS installation guide

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/GuestOS_guide.pdf
