If I have a virtual machine, how can I install on it an operating system skipping the installation steps?
In other words, when I choose an operating system to be installed on the VM, I want to use it immediately without bothering with the installation steps (like choosing the language, username, etc)
Also how can it be a headless VM? Meaning that I don't need the OS with a graphical user interface. I only want to use it via the terminal.
Is there anyway that I can do that?
Note: I am using KVM and libvirt.
Please help ASAP.
Thanks.
depending on the guest OS you want, your options are (1) install yourself or (2) copy an already-installed version from someone else. option (1) can vary widely and does not always involve official installers (see eg
debootstrap
). (option (2) has security implications. how much do you trust the source?) – quixotic – 2017-03-14T16:11:29.700
