You can try Mer out right now in a virtual machine.
In order to create and boot a Mer-based system running the Nemo UX, follow the next steps:
- Get tools required to create a bootable image from RPM repository per MeeGo's Image Creation guide.
- Don't forget to run the mic-create-bootstrap step of the Image Creation guide before building it for the first time.
- Make yourself an image using mic-image-creator using this kickstart file created by Stskeeps.
sudo mic-image-creator --format=raw --cache=mycache --mainrepo=mer-core --arch=i586 --config=nemo-handset-i586-testing-0.20111128.3.CE.2011-12-01.2.ks
- Run the image file with your favorite emulation software, Qemu and VirtualBox are both confirmed to work. In case you prefer Virtualbox, you might want to use the vdi format instead of raw for the image generated by mic-image-creator.
Note: By default Qemu will grab your mouse cursor, making mouse interaction less intuitive due to the lack of a mouse cursor from Nemo. In order to enable mouse integration with Qemu, similar to the way it is in VirtuaBbox, you can use the "-usbdevice tablet" option.
