Hi, I struggled for a while to create a Meego image, but finally managed to do it. I had a few troubles, which I thought I should share in case they might be useful for the troubleshooting sections of http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation and http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation_For_Beginners
My host machine is Fedora 12, and the command I am using is from the above image creation guides. #> sudo mic-image-creator --config=meego-preview-netbook-core.ks --format=vmdk --cache=mycache This is the summary of the problems and below is the detail 1) Proxy Configuration Problem 2) Missing extlinux problem 1) Proxy Configuration Problem-------------------------------------- http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation_For_Beginners says that you can have a local config file called ~/.mic2_sys.conf to put the proxy and cache details in. However, this doesn't work. Later I found in http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation that the config file is actually called ~/.mic2.conf. Once I put my proxy settings in this file it worked. So can 'Image Creation For Beginners' and 'Image Creation' guides be made the same? 2) Missing extlinux problem--------------------------------------- mic2 failed with the following error: Error: failed to create image : Needed file: /sbin/extlinux not found, please check your installation After much googling and messing about I managed to 'fix' this by: Downloading syslinux-3.86.tar.bz2 from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ Unpacking it #> tar xvf syslinux-3.86.tar.bz2 copying the extlinux executable to /sbin #> sudo cp syslinux-3.86/extlinux/extllinux /sbin Not sure if this is the correct way to do this but it worked. By the way syslinux was already installed before I tried to build a Meego image. yum said "Package syslinux-3.85-5.1.i386 already installed and latest version" but I still needed to do the above to sort it out. Anyhow after that it all worked and I have my image. Just need to work out how to run it....
