Introduction

In the FAI guide one can find detailed instructions on how to use KVM, however it is quite possible to use any virtual machine, as in hypervisor, solution such as VirtualBox or VMWare.

The biggest obstacle is setting up the network between the host and various client machines correctly.

FAI install server as DHCP client

For this setup to work, you obviously require your own DHCP server. In most home networks, that would usually be the router.

Simply create your virtual machine as usual, but instead of using a NAT for networking, select bridged adapter.

Clients

For the clients, use the same network settings as for the FAI server.
