TinyCore (http://tinycorelinux.net) is a unique and minimalist distribution of the Linux operating system and tools. It is very small, just 10MB for the Core base system!
# download iso wget http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/release/Core-current.iso # create a disk image for your VM (100M) qemu-img create core.img 100M # boot system from cdrom qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda core.img -cdrom Core-current.iso -boot d -m 256
Once the Core system is loaded from cdrom, you can follow this tutorial to install the system on the disk image core.img. In brief, download install script and launch it…
tce-load -wi tc-install sudo /usr/local/bin/tc-install.sh
Then, follow instructions and select:
Now you can halt the system and restart it from the disk image:
# boot system from disk qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda core.img -m 256 # install azerty/fr keyboard tce-load -wi kmaps sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap # install text editor (nano) tce-load -wi nano
To set azerty/fr keyboard permanently, edit /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and set “kmap=azerty/fr-latin9” option on the APPEND line. Don't work???
