openQA Appliance

As the installation of openQA is a bit tricky, I created an Appliance (prebuild disk-image) using susestudio to provide an easy way getting in touch with openQA. The Appliance is based on openSUSE 12.1, and shipps with everything you need to run openQA. There is an harddisk- and an iso-image (which contains a bootable installer). Please keep in mind, that you will need a KVM-compatible hardware (you won't be able to run openQA in a virtual machine).

You can find the appliance here.

Installation on a USB-Memory

The best way to use openQA on your existing computer is an installation on a USB-Harddisk - most USB-Sticks might be too slow, and the tests could run into timeouts.
Download the harddisk image and run this commands (replace /dev/sdb with your USB device):

tar xzvf openQA_Server_x86_64.x86_64-0.0.25.oem.tar.gz
sudo dd if=openQA_Server_x86_64.x86_64-0.0.25.raw of=/dev/sdb bs=64k

Now boot from USB and login (ssh is also possible). The login data can be found on the download-page.
