This is going to take some time so get yourself comfortable. Maybe get some music going in the background and get a drink or something, seriously. For this example I am using the Host or Hypervisor is running on Fedora 15 x64. Do yourself a favor and make the Host 64 bit because you really need to take advantage of the RAM. Here are my Host/Hypervisor specs:
*Dual core 3ghz proc*4gb RAM*80 gb OS drive (Fedora 15 X64 Installed)*160 gb drive (to be used for the VM images)
Nothing special about it right , but to take advantage of the 4gb or RAM you need 64 bit, especially if you have more RAM than I have here. As I mentioned I am using Fedora which is what Amahi users are used to so this will be biased towards Fedora.
=====You will need the following information which will be used later on=====
#Enable Virtualization in your BIOS !! Don't overlook this !!
#*If there is not no virtualization options in your bios then either your board or cpu do not support it. If that is the case then stop here because your experience will be poor at best.
#Update your System !!
#*su -c yum -y update
#*You want the stuff in bold recorded somplace
#*You can also get this same info from the "Disk Utility" app which is gui based.
#Once all the packages are installed you need to check some things.#*Make sure the kernel modules are loaded#**lsmod |grep kvm#**Should give#***kvm and either kvm_intel ''or'' kvm_amd#***kvm should always be there and one of the other two should be there depending on your cpu type. My output was like this:#***kvm_intel 44819 0 #***kvm 317840 1 kvm_intel
