Box Grinder on CentOS

[tpedone]

The release notes seem to imply that CentOS is supported.  I tried to install the tools using:

yum -y install git parted wget rpmdevtools appliance-tools sudo libguestfs ruby-libguestfs guestfish yum-utils e2fsprogs

But there're no pacakges for appliance-tools.   I tried searching around for the RPM's but couldn't find all the proper versions for CentOS 5.4.

Are there any instructions on getting up and running with CentOS?

Or maybe the not about cross-OS support is old and I can create CentOS Vm's on the Fedora 11 Meta appliance?

Hi Tim,

You're right, there is no appliance-tools package for CentOS. We provide required packages for CentOS in our repository.

No, you still cannot build CentOS appliance on Fedora Hopefully we'll find a workaround for it soon.

That did the trick.  Thanks for the quick reply.

I also had to install ruby and rubygems to get boxgrinder up and running.
