Installation

Initialization

Context:

  1. Create a SSD partition, number 3, formatted with a 6 GB Ext4 file system.
  2. Attach an existing HDD partition named /vm to store the virtual machines.

Partitioning 

  1. fdisk /dev/sda
n 3 [enter] +6G

Formatting 

  1. mkfs.ext4 -E discard -L DEBIAN /dev/sda3
  2. mount /dev/disk/by-label/DEBIAN /mnt

ArchLinux as a source 

  1. pacman -S abs
  2. pacman -S base-devel
  3. abs
  4. mkdir /tmp/debootstrap
  5. cd /tmp/debootstrap
  6. wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/de/debootstrap/PKGBUILD
  7. makepkg -s
  8. pacman -U debootstrap*

Debian as a host 

  1. debootstrap --arch=amd64 wheezy /mnt http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian
  2. LANG=C chroot /mnt /bin/bash
  3. export TERM=xterm-color
  4. cd /dev
  5. MAKEDEV generic
  6. cd /
  7. mkdir /vm
