Re: Specialized kernel/base system for VM's/VE's

My goal is having a really minimized base system for VMs and VEs, which don't have anything that's really needed there (eg. VEs dont need all the kernel related stuff, VMs just only those parts which are really required for running in an virtio-based environment, etc, etc). I suspect you're looking for the linux-virtual metapackage, and dependencies thereof for your kernel. You may wish to look at the available Cloud Images [1], which are likely suitable for deployment in your target environment with little or no modification. If the selection of modules in linux-virtual is insuffient for your target environment, the other modules are also available in the dependencies of the linux-image-extra-virtual package. 1: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
mongos
Wondering if it's possible to break mongos out into its own package so mongo-server doesn't need to be installed if you just want to run the router -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I don't know the answer, but it looks like linux-virtual just depends on the regular kernel: $ apt-cache depends linux-virtual linux-virtual Depends: linux-image-virtual Depends: linux-headers-virtual $ apt-cache depends linux-image-virtual linux-headers-virtual linux-image-virtual Depends: linux-image-3.5.0-15-generic linux-headers-virtual Depends: linux-headers-generic -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
