VNUML Live DVD
In order to easily test VNUML without having to install it in your computer, we have created VNUML-Live-DVD: a Ubuntu based live dvd that includes the VNUML tool installed together with most of the examples available on this web.
You can download VNUML-Live-DVD from Sourceforge. See Download page.
See below some useful notes about VNUML-Live-DVD:
- Keyboard. Live DVD uses by default the english keymap. You can change to other keymap by pressing F3 key during boot up.
- Installation on hard disk. If you plan to install VNUML-Live-DVD on your hard disk using the standard Ubuntu procedure (install button on your desktop), take into account that there is a known problem related to user management: the user you are asked to create during installation process is not created correctly. In fact, after installation is finished and you restart the computer, you won´t be able to login with that user. Use the default user (ubuntu/ubuntu) to access the system and re-create the user through the administration menus.
Running VNUML Live-DVD over VMware
You can easily test VNUML using VMware free player in two ways:
- Starting VNUML-Live-DVD from VMware. In order to do that:
-
<il>Download and install vmplayer
- Download vnuml-live-2.1-vmplayer.zip file from VNUML SourceForge site and follow the instructions inside.
- Using VNUML Virtual Appliance. We have created a VMware virtual machine which is available in: ftp://ftp.dit.upm.es/vnuml/ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip. To use it, you just have to:
- Download and install vmplayer
- Download and unzip ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip file:
- Start the virtual machine with:
- Once the virtual machine has started yo can login using:
unzip ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip
vmplayer ubuntu-vnuml-2.1/ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.vmx
username: ubuntu password: ubuntu
Other VNUML based LIVE CD/DVD initiatives
- VIMINAL, a Gentoo based LiveCD including VNUML developed by Jacques Landru.
