Requirements

Preparation

To use MIC2, the following packages must be available on your system (most of these packages are installed by default, depending on the distribution):

  • sqlite (sqlite3 for Ubuntu/Debian)
  • libsqlite3x (libsqlite3-0 for Ubuntu)
  • yum
  • rpm
  • kpartx
  • parted
  • syslinux
  • isomd5sum
  • zlib-devel(for compiling, zlib1g-dev for Ubuntu/Debian)
  • python-devel(for compiling)
  • qemu-img
  • curl

You should load these modules, as well, if they are not loaded automatically by the kernel:

  • squashfs
  • dm_snapshot
  • loop

Specific packages for Fedora and Moblin:

  • pykickstart
  • device-mapper

Specific packages for Ubuntu 8.10:

  • python-celementtree
  • python-elementtree
  • dmsetup

Known Issues

  • MIC2 is not compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 (yum package compatibility)
  • On Ubuntu 8.10, the yum version is older. You should update it using yum from ubuntu 9.04
  • On Ubuntu 9.04, you should update sqlite3 and libsqlite3-*

Request for info regarding MIC2 on Fedora 11

I am unable to install MIC2 on Fedora 11. Has anyone had any success with MIC2 on Fedora 11?

* squashfs * dm_snapshot * loop are not loaded in fedora

How to load the these modules ???.

sqlite3 need to be installed on Ubuntu 9.04

add this package.

zlib1g-dev need to be installed on Ubuntu 9.04

Seems it is the Ubuntu package name for the "zlib-devel" mentioned in this page.

Extra packages?

You may also need:

curl
libssh2
qemu-img

for moblin-image-creator to work properly. Also be careful with installing and using KVM-related packages for VMWare images if you plan on using VMWare Workstation. VMWare Workstation (up to 6.5 at least) asks you to turn off HW acceleration support for fully functional VMWare Workstation software.
