Installing Linux in a virtual machine

Though you need to follow the instructions from your Linux distribution to install
and configure Linux, and those instructions differ from distribution to distribution,
virtual machine facilities and tasks common to all distributions are covered in this
section.

Overview of installing Linux in a virtual machine

You must follow your distribution documentation to install the Linux operating
system in your new LINMSTR virtual machine, which you created in "Steps for
defining a master virtual machine for Linux" on page 71. For information about
obtaining your Linux distribution, see "Steps for obtaining documentation and
media" on page 34. This topic includes information about your virtual machine
configuration that you should know for your Linux distribution.
To get the installation and configuration process started, Linux distributions follow
this pattern:
Note: Add 'CP TERM LINEND %' in case the system default line end
character is changed.
Guideline: In Chapter 9, "Setting up basic system automation," on page 85,
you automate the Linux virtual console, which requires a modification of
the PROFILE EXEC for each Linux virtual server you want to automate. If
you prefer to have this function part of every Linux clone, you can add the
required statement now. See "Steps for automating Linux virtual consoles"
on page 93.
