Installation of LinuxMCE in a KVM Virtual Machine

On this page I will describe the installation process of LinuxMCE in a KVM virtual machine. As a host system I use proxmox, a very user friendly and easy to use bare metal hypervisor.

Download Required Software

Download Proxmox the latest version of proxmox: [1]

At the moment of this writing the current version is Proxmox VE 3.1

Download LinuxMCE [2]

At the moment of this writing the current version is LinuxMCE 1004 final

Adittionally if you are on Windows and want to use a usb-stick: (you do not need any addidional program on Linux)

Suse Studio Image Writer [3] to write the image to a usb-stick. UnetBootin and Rufus do not work.

Copying Image to USB-Stick

If you want to use a CD simply burn the iso to a cd.

On Linux

Please make sure that /dev/XYZ is the right device, as this delets all content. Please also note that this is the device WITHOUT the number for the partition. SO for example /dev/sdc AND NOT /dev/sdc1

dd if=pve-cd.iso of=/dev/XYZ bs=1M
