CentOS 4.4. version added
Here you can find OpenVZ Live CD imageimages. It We have to LiveCDs at the moment. The first one is based on Knoppix 5.1.1and the second one is based on Centos 4.4. Live CD is a great way to test drive the OpenVZ technology without a need to actually install it on your machine.
== CD Centos LiveCD contents ==This CD contains the following OpenVZ packages:* kernels:** original CentOS 4.4 kernel without virtualization** 2.6.9-023stab044.4** 2.6.18-028stab035** 2.6.18-028stab035-rhel5* vzctl 3.0.16* vzquota 3.0.9* template tools:** vzyum-2.4.0-11** vzrpm44-4.4.1-22.5** vzrpm43-4.3.3-7** vzpkg-2.7.0-18* template metadatas:** vztmpl-centos-4-2.0-2** vztmpl-fedora-core-3-2.0-2** vztmpl-fedora-core-4-2.0-2** vztmpl-fedora-core-5-2.0-2* several precreated templates:** centos-4-i386-minimal** fedora-core-5-i386-minimal** debian-3.1-i386-minimal The number of original CentOS packages were removed (<tt>openoffice</tt>, <tt>gimp</tt>, etc.)to free space for OpenVZ packages.
== Knoppix LiveCD contents ==
This CD contains the following OpenVZ packages:
* kernel 2.6.18-028stab027
== Booting ==
Just insert the fresh CD into your CD-ROM and reboot. In some cases you have to modify your BIOS settings in order to enable booting from a CD.
If you use CentOS-base CD you'll be able to choose the kernel to boot: <tt>ovz9rh</tt>, <tt>ovz18</tt>, <tt>ovz18rh</tt>, <tt>ovz20</tt>, <tt>linux</tt> (original CentOS kernel).
== Using ==
OpenVZ disk quota does not work on LiveCD at the moment due to {{Bug|558}}, so <code>df</code> in [[VE]] shows ludicrous values if quota is on.
Because of it on CentOS 4.4 LiveCD disk quota is switched off by default.
Checkpointing (and consequently live migration) doesn't work on KNOPPIX LiveCD at the moment due to {{Bug|606}}. But it '''works''' on CentOS-based LiveCD!
== Changelog ==
* 7 May 2007, initial version based on Knoppix 5.1.1
* 5 July 2007, second version based on Centos 4.4
