-====== NAV virtual appliance recipe ======
-This is the original recipe used by Morten Werner Forsbring to create the first [[navappliance|NAV virtual appliance]].
-===== How the virtual appliance was created =====
-A virtual machine was created on a VMware ESX server with 512MB RAM and 4GB of disk. Choises made during installation of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (aka. etch):
-  * American English as language
-  * using LVM on the disk to ease the expand-process
-  * all files in one large partition
-After a normal installation, the following changes are made:
-  * the user added at install-time was removed
-  * so was the root-alias in ///etc/aliases// pointing to that user
-  * backport.org- and pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org-mirrors added to /etc/apt/sources.list
-  * installed open-vm-tools (from backports.org) and ran the commands **module-assistant prepare open-vm** and **module-assistant auto-install open-vm** to build the opem-vm-modules
-  * installed openssh-server
-  * added 'ALL: 127.0.0.1' to /etc/hosts.allow and 'ALL: ALL' to /etc/hosts.deny
-  * installed nav (aptitude install --without-recommends nav) and answered yes to all question
-  * followed /usr/share/doc/nav/README.Debian
-  * poweroff the machine and take a snapshot
-  * Remove the network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.
-  * Change the temporary root-password to an empty one in /etc/shadow (and remove /etc/shadow-).
-  * Adjust hostname in the following files: /etc/hosts, /etc/mailname and /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf
-  * Power off the virtual machine and export as appliance.
-===== Todo =====
-  * document how to make the appliance send emails
