while True: next()

Written by Miguel González on 2013-06-17

In a few words:

1) Download fedora install image. In my case I got Fedora-18-i386-netinst.iso. 2) Install fedora on virtualbox. It is a regular installation but taking into account:

> -   Root password: vagrant
> -   User: vagrant with vagrant as password
> -   Disable password prompt for sudo
> -   Install sshd
> -   Copy vagrant.pub to .ssh/authorized\_keys

3) Package virtual machine as a Vagrant box:

    $ vagrant package --base Fedora-18-i386 --output Fedora-18-i386.box

Then, to start a brand new new virtual machine:

$ mkdir newproject
$ cd newproject
$ vagrant init fedora18 /path/to/Fedora-18-i386.box
$ vagrant up

To login with ssh:

$ vagrant ssh
...

And to halt or suspend vagrant halt or vagrant suspend.

I took great inspiration in this script that automatizes debian boxes building from scratch.
