How to run Windows XP in Fedora

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:33:52 +0200

I wanted to have a Windows virtual machine that I could use on my Fedora 10 laptop, I only have linux on this laptop and i don't want to dual boot,so this required that I install some virtualization packages and to go virtual.

I'm documenting how I did this so others can learn and hopefully they will be motivated to try it themselves. Fedora offers two methods for virtualisation, one is for virtualising Linux (xen) and the other one can do non-Linux os's as well as Linux (qemu). For a detailed and technical wiki on this subject please see here.

1. Install the virtualization packages.

Open a terminal and as root do the following:-

Code:
su -c "yum groupinstall 'Virtualization'"

followed by the following optional components:-

Code:
yum install gnome-applet-vm

Code:
yum install virt-top

2. Start the virtualisation service

as root do as follows

Code:
service libvirtd start

then verify it's running

Code:
virsh -c qemu:///system list

you should see something like this

Quote:[root@localhost ~]# virsh -c qemu:///system list

Id Name State

----------------------------------

3. Install QEMU

as root do

Code:
yum install qemu

updated Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 today

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:34:31 +0100

I updated my Fedora 9 laptop today to Fedora 10, and this is how I did it incase any of you want to try (this is for the 32 bit release)

Quote:[root@localhost]# cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)

yup, it's Fedora 9 ^

ok, let's get some packages, (pick a mirror near you, I'm in sweden so I chose the one below)

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distribution...86/os/Packages/

Code:
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-10.0.0-1.noarch.rpm

wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm

and then install them

Code:
rpm -Uvh fedora-release-notes-10.0.0-1.noarch.rpm fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm

then do an update...

Code:
yum update

i got some dependancy errors relating to f-spot and qemu, and resolved them by doing yum remove f-spot && yum remove qemu and then trying again

yum then downloaded 986 updates, and prompted me to install them

Quote:(986/986): openoffice.org-core-3.0.0-9.10.fc10.i386.rpm | 90 MB 01:20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total 1.0 MB/s | 1.1 GB 18:57

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4ebfc273

Importing GPG key 0x4EBFC273 "Fedora (10) " from /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386

Is this ok [y/N]: y

the package updating takes a long time......

don't forget to reboot after yum is done updating
