You can get the reference platform here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/VMs.
Using This VM as a Development Environment
By default, the reference platform only runs a console and a VNC server. If you want to use it for actual development you'll probably want to run X. Here's how to do it:
- Disable the VNC server with this command: chkconfig --level 2345 vncserver off
- Change the default run level. As root, run: sed -i -e 's/^id:[0-9]:initdefault:$/id:5:initdefault:/' /etc/inittab
Reboot, and you should be graphical! CentOS uses 'yum' as it's RPM front-end. You should be able to install most applications/tools you need through it. If you'd like a graphical front-end you can run 'pirut'.
Usernames and Passwords
By default, this image has two accounts:
(username)/(password)
root/root
cltbld/cltbld
Troubleshooting
- You may get an error about "Stale Data" when running this VM in VMware Workstation for the first time. It can be safely ignored.
